The Flex 3 public beta marks a big step toward the availability of Flex under an open source community process. Adobe is now making a detailed feature roadmap available for Flex. Additionally, Flex developers now have public access to updated nightly builds and to the production Flex bug system. External users can now log and track issues and feature requests in this system. You can find all of the open source Flex information today at Adobe Labs - Adobe Flex.

FLEX is comprised of three parts: the Utility Command Set, the File
Management System, and the Disk Operating System. The Utility Command
Set consists of a number of useful commands that reside on the system
disk, and which are only loaded into memory when needed. The set of
commands can easily be extended without altering the operating system.
