I see that you have not filed an ITP for neko, which is not in wnpp or
in Debian. Do you intend to do so? I had intended to package neko in
order to package haxe, but have been busy with NM and stuff. It seems
that there is a reasonable amount of interest in osflash stuff in the
debian community, but not much interest in debian packages in the
osflash community. I think the debian interest warrants starting the
TODO items on this page though:

http://osflash.org/debian_packaging

The way I see a pkg-flash project working is similar to pkg-perl - we
keep the debian directories in SVN, have primary maintainer(s) for each
package and welcome work by the whole group on all the packages. Here is
pkg-perl's SVN docs:

http://pkg-perl.alioth.debian.org/subversion.html

I've just submitted a project registration request at alioth. About the
mailing list, I would prefer it to be debian-flash@lists.debian.org.
Until the project gets bigger, I think it can be used for discussion as
well as in the maintainer address of packages, later on we can use an
alioth list for the maintainer address.

We probably will eventually write some kind of policy on common issues
we might find - location of actionscript libraries and so on.

Some wiki pages we should maintain as a group:

http://wiki.debian.org/Flash
http://wiki.debian.org/FlashPlayer
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianFlash (not yet created)

PS: Camille Harang and Miriam Ruiz - Just noticed you both are working
on swfmill, it might be good to coordinate and merge your packaging
effort.
