Can I get Growl Support for OSX?
Growl is a third-party notification system and it'd be nice to have all notifications going through a single application.

Unfortunately, Growl support isn't currently possible from the Adobe AIR platform.
For a more technical explanation, read on...
Growl allows for remote connections to be made via TCP (using Distributed Objects) or UDP (using GrowlTalk). AIR allows for TCP socket connections but not UDP. Therefore, in order to talk to Growl via TCP, I'd have to figure out how to send Distributed Object packets. Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to be documented anywhere except in C code which is, honestly, a little beyond my expertise. So, while not technically impossible at this point, it'll likely have to wait until Growl adds TCP support using GrowlTalk or AIR adds UDP socket support.
