There are several projects in the pipeline. We’re big fans 37signals' products, so we created a few tools to help Flex developers add to the pool of cool extensions. The first is Summit, an ActionScript library for Basecamp. It comes with a sample Flex app, Basecamp Navigator, which helps you get started with Summit so that you’ll be on your way to building new Basecamp extensions. Next up is Heat, which is an ActionScript API for Campfire. We’re pretty excited about releasing these and collaborating with you. If you have any questions or are interested in joining the party, send a note to opensrc@tyemill.com.

Featured Projects

Summit is an ActionScript API for Basecamp. It provides specialized loader and request classes for making asynchronous calls to the Basecamp API, simplifying the making of Flex-based extensions to Basecamp. Summit is the core library used in Pioneer, an AIR-application that enables offline access to Basecamp. Want to jump right into code and see Summit in action? Take a look at Basecamp Navigator.

Coming soon is Heat, an ActionScript API for 37signals' Campfire. While there is no offical API for the Campfire application, Heat will enable Flex developers to build applications that work with Campfire. It will support a number of operations including reading and writing to a campfire room and creating and deleting rooms.

Cool Extras

Basecamp Navigator is a sample Flex application that uses Summit. The application displays Basecamp data in a tree control, where items can be viewed and edited. It provides sample code for most of the Summit operations, so it's a great starting place for understanding how Summit can be used.
