Re: [DRAFT] Apache Flex 4.14.0 released!
One question:
New Spark components skin: FlatSpark
Should that be:
New Spark component skins: FlatSpark
Or:
New Spark Theme: FlatSpark

I trust our community to eventually speak up. Instead of spending energy
speculating about the unknowns around this issue, let’s spend the energy
on finding an RM for the installer and getting it out the door.

Sure, but how would we even know? We've had 300 odd installer failures in the last few days and only a few emails to the list reporting the failures. This type of installer error is not logged so we can't even use google analytics to see if they have been occurring.

How about this idea? Let’s leave the “bad news” out of the announcement.
If we get folks running into it at 10 a day, we can separately blog about
it.

It is unknown how many people do this. But say it's only 5% of users that's currently about 10 users a day or about 250 a month.

How many would change the locale after initiating the installation

You may be mistaken there. Given that the majority of users are outside of the US a large % of users are likely to change the locale. We don't have stats on this so hard to know exactly, but I'd say it's a reasonable interoperation from the google stats we do have.
But even if you disagree on the % of users isn't it better to err of the side of caution rather than risk having a large number of users unable to successfully install the SDK? If that does happen we're unlikely to be aware of the extent of the issue (it's not directly logged) as at a guess less than 1% of errors are reported to the list.

Hi,
You may want to add something about the issues with the installer (may RTE or not display licenses correctly and not create a working SDK) if you change the locale.

I think it should be "skins". FlatSpark is not yet ready to be used as a
complete theme.
