I'd just like to get this thread back on track with a couple notes.
1) Wikimedia will not be interested in an editing widget based entirely
on Flash.
2) If someone wants to make their own, hey have fun! That's cool. Try to
keep list discussion about it on-topic and productive.
3) General issues with Flash and Wikimedia's software freedom demands
have previously been discussed. We're not against using it in limited
ways with graceful degradation as a fallback alternative to other web
standard technologies, so long as no patent-encumbered formats are involved.
If folks are interested in further general discussion about how free
Flash or Flash authoring are or aren't, please feel free to take it
off-list.
