About the mailing-

lists
There are two public mailing lists for Flex. The Right now just the "flex-dev" mailing list is activefor topics related to development of the source code in Apache Flex SVN. To register: write a empty mail to: flex-dev-subscribe@incubator dev-subscribe@flex.apache.org. The "flex-user" mailing list is for questions about how to use any of the Apache Flex releases. To register: write a empty mail to: users-subscribe@flex.apache.org.
Don't feel intimidated by the many topics that are on the mailing-list. Everybody is giving his best to answer proposals and questions.
Please take your time and search the wiki for the things you want to ask about.
There are some tags that we often use to identify our mailing-list threads:

Work with the source-code
Right now the adobe team is in the process of handing The Adobe team has handed over the source code to apache. A part of it is waiting for import by the apache infrastructure team: Jira 4397
Big parts of the framework have been put already online in the "whiteboard" section. Fell free to download and build them!
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/flex/whiteboard/frameworks/Apache Flex (see Jira 4397 and Jira 4629). You can browse the imported source code with Apache FishEye, or checkout the projects by reading the instructions here.
In the apache model only commiters committers can modify the source code directly. But that doesn't mean your changes are pointless. After you created some awesome addition you can't contribute. Once you create some awesome additions to the Flex Framework you can use svn diff
to create a diff file and attach it patch, which you attach to a Jira request. We will review it and, if we think its awesome it's useful and correct, it will be added to the trunk.

It is a lot of work to document all these things on the wiki. The wiki is unfortunately not free to edit like that.
You can get permission to edit the pages by creating an account and write a request for permission to the mailing-list that contains your username.
