<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>
+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>
+<div class="headline"><h4>Where can I find the Apache Flex Roadmap?</h4></div>
+
+<p>We do not have a roadmap. That is not the Apache Wayâ¢. Apache Flex is a project run and maintained by volunteers. The
+way that Apache works is that each developer do what they are passionate about. There is no release schedule,
+and therefore, there is no official roadmap. You can always make suggestions via JIRA or the mailing lists for
+new features that you wish to see and if they are good enough a developer will pick them up. You can always
+contribute your own code for new features as well. You can find out more about contributing code on the <a href="community-getinvolved.html">Get
+Involved page</a>.</p>
+<p>All that being said, you can check out what developers are working on by peeking in the "Whiteboard" area of the
+source control. There is a lot of cool projects incubating there that may (or may not) make it into future
+releases.</p>
+<div class="headline"><h4>What happens to my projects if Adobe Discontinues the Flash Player?</h4></div>
+
+<p>It is true that current Flex projects are tied to either the Adobe Flash Player or Adobe AIR. We have been making great
+strides to compile projects to native JavaScript, therefore bypassing the Flash Player in the browser. Adobe
+has made a committment to support the Flash Player and our current runtime for at least 5 years from the time
+they donated the project to Apache. You can find out more about their roadmap on the <a href="http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplatform/whitepapers/roadmap.html">Adobe Flash Whitepaper</a>.</p>
+<p>Event if Adobe no longer created new versions of the Flash Player, it is still had an incredible install base
+(being installed on over 90% of internet-connected PCs). If the Flash Player were no longer updated today, it would
+still be installed just about everywhere.</p>
+<div class="headline"><h4>Will my code work on Platform X?</h4></div>
+
+<p>The currently released version of Apache Flex will output to either SWF of AIR. SWF is supported within browsers on
+Windows 2000 through Windows 8, Mac OSX, Linux (using Chrome), many phones and some smartphones. AIR allows
+you to take your Flex application and output native applications for Android (2.2+), iOS (3+),certain
+BlackBerry QNX devices (Playbook), MacOSX and Microsoft Windows.</p>
+<p>We are currently working on supporting JavaScript as an output. This will increase support to anywhere HTML5
+is supported.</p>
+<p>Other platforms may be added if Adobe AIR beings to support them. Unfortunatly, we are not in control of adding
+additional support for other platforms at this time.</p>
+<div class="headline"><h4>Can I submit apps I make with Apache Flex to App Store X?</h4></div>
+
+<p>By using Adobe AIR with Apache Flex, you can produce applications that can be submitted to the Apple App Store, Android
+Market, Apple Mac App Store and Blackberry App World. There are very successful projects that have been submitted
+to all of the above. In fact, you can actually use one code base to create apps for each of the different platforms
+to submit to all of the different stores!</p>
+<p>Apache Flex coupled with Adobe AIR allows you to make Apple iOS Applications from a Windows PC. You will need a Mac in
+order to submit the app to the store.</p>
+<div class="headline"><h4>Does Apache Flex cost money?</h4></div>
+
+<p>No. This is a completely open-source project and uses the <a href="about-licensing.html">Apache License v. 2.0</a>. This allows you to use the SDK and
+any outputs of the SDK for personal and commericial use with virtually no restrictions. Some of the recommended tooling
+(not produced by Apache) costs money, however you are more than free to use the included command-line compilers
+and toolsets.</p>
