Announcing Flex
Hi Folks,
Carol officially attempting to post an official announcement of Apache Flex 4.8.0-incubating on the Apache announcement email list. I will post something on the Adobe blog after I see it on the Apache website.
In the meantime, it seems like it would be great to get someone to update the Apache Flex home page to also announce the release. Any volunteers?

My personal thought was a banner across the home page with:
"Breaking News... Apache Flex 4.8.0-incubating is released! Get it from the
downloads page and participate in the future of Flex."
Link to the download page and other getting started pages would be helpful.
Thanks,

Alex,
This is on my to-do tonight. If you have some verbiage that you want
included, that would help :)
I am also taking the task to update the text to say "Apache Flex™" this
evening as well. I'm going to be compiling a few iOS AIR apps, so I've
got a lot of time to dedicate to it ;P

Actually perhaps just change the LHS menu from "news items" to "new archive"? I had missed that the page title was "News Archive".

Hi,
Not that I mean to add you your work load but these pages probably need updating as well:
http://incubator.apache.org/flex/news.html
And perhaps this just link back to the news page(s) rather than have the info in 3 places?
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FLEX/Status
Thanks,
Justin

Page has been updated to include the trademark sign, and added the
announcement of the release. Not really happy with it, but since the new
website is underway, I'm not putting much effort into hacking up the CSS in
a way that the CMS wants to see it to make it bolder/brighter.

That's kinda the point. Application owners need to know they would be upgrading to a release that is still in the Apache Incubator. In theory, though highly unlikely, the project could go away at any time.

I agree, but rules are rules. See [1] on Naming and [2]

I received an e-mail from Keith Sutton because I am a SilvaFug subscriber. Keith is the Silvafug group moderator. It looks like he forwarded the message Carol sent to flex-dev@incubator.apache.org
> " but I think Scott's needs to say 4.8.0-incubating in the subject."
While 4.8.0-incubating more descriptive than 4.8.0, I opted for the latter because it was shorter and more clear. I think more application owners would want to upgrade to 4.8.0 than to 4.8.0-incubating.

Did you and Keith get these reviewed by Apache PR? I still haven't found
Keith's post, but I think Scott's needs to say 4.8.0-incubating in the
subject.

1) Flex Community: Please tweet something about this - I have seen several tweets about it already.
2) I posted this content to the Apache Flex Developers Linkedin Group. Here is a link to the discussion: http://lnkd.in/Vvu4_E
