+Title:  Frequency Asked Questions
+
+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.
+
+<div class="headline"><h4>Can I have write access to the SVN?</h4></div>
+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
+`.patch` files (diff files) to the project.  Check out the [Get Involved][1] page for more details on how to do that.
+
+<div class="headline"><h4>How is this different than Adobe Flex?</h4></div>
+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.
+
+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.
+
+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
+
+<div class="headline"><h4>I've used Adobe Flex before.  How do I start using Apache Flex?</h4></div>
+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 ["Download the SDK Installer"][4] link under the downloads menu above.  It will
+walk you through the rest of the process.
+
+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.
+
+<div class="headline"><h4>Why are you not using GIT/GitHub?</h4></div>
+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.
+
+<div class="headline"><h4>I don't have time to read the mailing lists.  How can I keep up with the project?</h4></div>
+The [Open Spoon Foundation][2] 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 [Apache Flex Blog][3] for critical updates.
