As the Summerbash internship program comes to an end, we've been taking time to reflect on what we've learned and what important changes we've made to further the Gnash project. I've summarized the what we've achieved on this wiki page. More after the jump...

The Gnash interns are finally past the migration work associated with the summer project. The past few days have been spent surfing the net to determine what implementation priorities should be on the most important sites for compatibility (list here). If there are specific sites you would like to see compatiblity for, please add to the wiki page linked above and we will check it out as time permits. All of us interns are excited to begin implementation and keep moving Gnash towards full compatibility!

The Gnash summer project is moving right along. The Gnash project has taken on 5 interns to help with making Gnash more compatible with new Actionscript 3 classes. This increase in compatibility is essential to the success of the Gnash project and we are happy to have the opportunity to help make this goal a reality. Over the past several weeks the Gnash Intern team has been working on:
1. Implementing and translating testsuites from a flash compiler (ming) which doesn't support Flash 9 and 10 to haxe, a compiler which supports actionscript 3.
2. Migrating the core Actionscript libraries to a newer (more Flash 9-like) naming convention.
3. Beginning implementation of previously unimplemented functionality in Gnash (specifically Camera and Video support for video conferencing).

Keep up with our progress -- check out the Gnash 2009 Summer Project wiki. We will be updating this site and the wiki linked to above as we continue to make progress on the project.
