OpenPyro now being ported to Haxe. Can you help ?

Its really awesome to see community interest in OpenPyro, the Flex-lite framework that I have been working on for the last few months. The latest news on that front is an effort to port OpenPyro to HaXe, an open source programming language that can be compiled to a variety of languages like Flash, Javascript, PHP etc by Don-Duong Quach. Don evaluated OpenPyro and has started a Git repository on the porting effort. He was even able to compile a previous example I had built with OpenPyro to a Haxe version which you can find here.

Its really exciting to see this work. My own knowledge of Haxe is minimal so I can’t be as helpful as I would like to be, but if there are other HaXe developers out there, your help in the effort would be really appreciated. The conversation around the port is happening at the OpenPyro mailing list.

In other news, OpenPyro finally has an official home at OpenPyro.org. I am going to start posting architecture documents and examples there. The latest can be found at the OpenPyro wiki and the OpenPyro asdocs page.
