What are the Apache Flex community goals?

The immediate goals of the Apache Flex project are to succeed with the next steps of the incubator program: release a version. Further release goals depend on the input of the community. There is no roadmap as of today but there is a general consensus to complete Flex 4 Spark. While not conclusive that means creating a component set of Spark components (parity with mx). Discussions on optimizing all the Spark components in the same way as the Flex 4.6 mobile components were optimized. On going effort is being made to add full support for the Mustella testing framework. Mustella is the name of the testing suite used internally by Adobe. There is also effort to refactor the framework where testing has been impossible.
