Spare Cycles to Document FlexUnit Feature
Anyone have spare cycles they could use the document a FlexUnit feature.
There is a feature of FlexUnit called the EventRule which I have never had time to document. It's actually extraordinarily useful and really helpful. I slipped it into an older FlexUnit release but never told anyone about it. So, it could be the first feature we publicize from the Apache release.
It has unit tests to look at and I am more than willing to give someone guidance and input, but I find myself continually deferring this task as I don't have enough time to actually write it up.
Let me know if anyone is willing. This would be a great way to contribute.
Thanks,
Mike

Once we have it in the Wiki, it would be great if somebody added a page
into the tutorial on the website as well.

If you can create an account for the Wiki:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FLEX/Apache+Flex+Wiki
Then we can ask Alex to give that account edit privileges.

Re: Spare Cycles to Document FlexUnit Feature

Not sure if appropriate, but the Apache Flex Wiki comes to mind. At least
there you can work together with the people in the know, and have your
stuff reviewed. When finished, one of the committers can probably take the
entire wiki entry as a patch and put it into the docs in the repo...
If you agree, Alex has the karma to grant you edit privileges on the wiki.

Awesome, Amy Blankenship started on some of this a while back. If she is on this list she might have some to contribute as well. In the meantime, here are the tests that go along with the feature:
https://github.com/apache/flex-flexunit/tree/master/FlexUnit4Test/src/org/flexunit/events/rule/cases
To give some context, the EventRule is supposed to be a really, really easy way to handle testing of things that use Events as their primary communication mechanism. It supposed to be an easier version of something like this (which was for FlexUnit .9):
http://blogs.adobe.com/tomsugden/2008/01/post.html
In General, Rules are a way to add extensibility to the flexunit framework. So the EventRule is basically an extensibility package for testing events.
The important starting point of all of these tests is:
[Rule]
public var expectEvent:EventRule = new EventRule();
Take a look at those to start. Feel free to ask tons of questions. I am happy to answer. This may all seem a bit obtuse at first but this is one of those gems no one knows about.
Thanks,
Mike

I have been looking for a way to contribute. I am mainly a doc person these
days, although I have built a bunch of Flex apps over the past five or six
years. I would be happy to take on documenting the EventRule.
Would need to know how or where to contribute what I write, of course.
