Maybe just display a message upon installation. eg: "thanks for
downloading. get involved [link]. find out more [link]"

IMHO, inviting flex users to the dev list might not work, because of the highly
technical discussions there.
Most people will get overwhelmed with the list traffic I think.
An installer should just do what we expect: install the sdk, no?
The 'how to get involved' is easy to find on our site.
Also, too many people on the dev list might use it as a help line, which isn't
its purpose.
Is there a possibility to have our own 'help' list or forum or is the adobe
forum still the preferred place to be?

we don't have anywhere near that many people on the mailing lists.
Should we provide a link to subscribe to the mailing lists from the installer?
Such as if they pick the dev branch or nightly's ?

Subject: Re: [Installer] Should the log file be "user friendly"
Hi,
For #1, we could just add more "echo" statements and have the installer
only log echo statements.
That would certainly help.
Or to only fix #2, we could tweak some ant target names to make it clear
they are conditional such as "air-setup-win-if-on-windows".
Why not just not log them in the installers log?
I would expect them to contact the users list and we'd still help them
there.
We've had 20,000+ installs of the SDK via the installer - we don't have
anywhere near that many people on the mailing lists. I think a little caution
is prudent here. the installer is the first thing a user will use when trying
to installer the SDK.
Thanks,
Justin
