-<p>faq page</p>
+<p>This page covers some frequently asked questions that we get on the mailing lists. We will be updating it with more
+content as time goes on.</p>
+<div class="headline"><h4>Can I have write access to the SVN?</h4></div>
+
+<p>Due to leagal reasons, only a select group of people have access to update or contibute code directly to the project.
+We at Apache take the legality of code seriously, and nothing would be worse than somebody contibuting code that
+they don't own and a 3rd party having a legal claim to our framework. That being said, you can submit code by providing
+<code>.patch</code> files (diff files) to the project. Check out the <a href="community-getinvolved.html">Get Involved</a> page for more details on how to do that.</p>
+<div class="headline"><h4>How is this different than Adobe Flex?</h4></div>
+
+<p>In November, 2011, Adobe announced they were no longer supporting Adobe Flex. Instead of just killing the framework they
+donated it to Apache. Apache Flex 4.8.0 is essentially the exact same version of Flex as Adobe's last official
+version. Since that inital donation the Apache Flex team has been working hard on fixing bugs, providing additional
+components and finishing unfinished components. As we progress through additional versions, we will be less and
+less like Adobe's Flex framework, but we will strive to be compatible with it.</p>
+<p>Adobe has offered some of their customers extended support contracts, and may produce additional versions, but
+that is unlikely. Future support of the Flex Framework is through this project.</p>
+<p>There are a few differences you should be aware of in the Apache version of the SDK. Most notibly, the Flash Player will
+not cache RSLs created with Apache Flex. You can find out more in the RELEASE_NOTES file in your SDK download</p>
+<div class="headline"><h4>I've used Adobe Flex before. How do I start using Apache Flex?</h4></div>
+
+<p>The quickest way to start using Apache Flex is to use the Apache Flex SDK Installer. This AIR application will download
+the latest version of the Apache Flex SDK and all the required components to make it work. It will also set the proper
+options so that the SDK can be used with your favorite IDE such as Flash Builder, FDT, Flash Devlop or IntelliJ.
+To use the SDK Installer, go to the <a href="download-installer.html">"Download the SDK Installer"</a> link under the downloads menu above. It will
+walk you through the rest of the process.</p>
+<p>Once you have the SDK on your computer, it should be just like the old Adobe SDK you were already using. Make sure
+to check the RELEASE_NOTES file for a full list of differences.</p>
+<div class="headline"><h4>Why are you not using GIT/GitHub?</h4></div>
+
+<p>The Apache Flex PMC voted on a resolution to move the project to Git once the Apache Infastrcture supported the move.
+There is no timeline on that move at this time. A mirror of the project is currently available on GitHub, but we are
+not accepting pull requests at this time.</p>
+<div class="headline"><h4>I don't have time to read the mailing lists. How can I keep up with the project?</h4></div>
+
+<p>The <a href="http://www.spoon.as">Open Spoon Foundation</a> has been providing monthly updates as to the goings-on of the Apache Flex project through
+their "Apache Revue" newsletter. You can also check out the <a href="http://blogs.apache.org/flex/">Apache Flex Blog</a> for critical updates.</p>
