We've recently noticed an increasing number of generation failures on X2O. Everytime we see this happening in our logs, we've failed you.

In virtually all cases, this is due to X2O timing out on a few of the more process and time-intensive portions of generating (namely, compiling the code into a SWC file and creating the ASDocs site for Flash and Flex).

As a first Band-Aid fix to this problem, we're going to be increasing the allotted time for these processes so we don't run into these time out issues. For a few of you, we've already upgraded X2O to increase these limits. We will likely roll out this fix across all X2O accounts within the next week. As always, we'll continue to look into ways we can make generation more efficient, and release those fixes as they happen.

Additionally, we're looking into better hosting solutions for X2O. We're working with Rackspace (our hosting company) to offer a more scalable solution (perhaps Cloud-based) for X2O.

Finally, look for a revamped-revised-rethoughtout X2O marketing site next week. We want to get a little more granular and transparent with our audience. Here's a sneak peek at what it may look like:
