This probably isn't the best place to write this, but here it is anyway. Flash is one of the most-used mediums these days. From humorous little animations to full-fledged games, sites like Facebook have entire gaming systems all using Flash code. I am one of the volunteer triagers and I have been working on Mozilla-related bugs for several months now. These bugs include Firefox, Thunderbird, SeaMonkey and Epiphany, among other packages. The two main Flash plugins most people use are Adobe's Flash Plugin and SWFDEC. Our problems here are: Adobe's plug-in is binary only (non-open-source), so when it breaks the using package (Firefox for instance) there is no possibility of working on the break, since we have no possibility of insight into the code. SWFDEC, according to the package manager/triager Thomas K., is no longer supported upstream. Therefor it's inclusion into Fedora will end with Fedora 12. It should no longer be included in Fedora 13. There are other attempts at open-source Flash, but non are really usable at the moment. So, I'm sending this out really to ensure that everyone is informed of the issue, and to see if anyone has any suggestions for possible plugin inclusion in the next generations of Fedora.
