FlexSpaces was developed with Adobe Flex 3 and ActionScript 3 on the clientside. ActionScript is now a more Java like and more object oriented JavaScript. Flex provides declarative layout in XML based MXML. (Also with Flex/Flash you don't have to worry about different browsers / different versions of browsers like you do with Ajax). FlexSpaces (+AIR and +Browser) source is available including FlexBulder3 project files. FlexSpaces can be customized, UI components and Cairngorm based events/cmds/delegates (non UI api) from FlexSpaces can be used in other Flex applications.
On the serverside, a large library of RESTful JavaScript Web Scripts returning XML data was developed (source available). These web scripts can be used independently in any kind of application (Flex, Java, etc.) that can call REST apis.

I have installed flexspaces in browser and calais on alfresco. But auto tag does not work, and when i do suggest, it also does not show me any tags, just an empty box pops up. Any idea what might be the problem? alfresco 3.3 CE + flexspaces 0.94 and calais 1.2 all running on linux 32bit environment.
