If so, I am happy to host.

Mobile SDK was donated. Current Flash Player always reports 72dpi on

I like the real world units idea. I don't know what it would involve to
apply it across the framework. Would it replace the use of setting to px or
compliment it? Would you go by millimeters or inches?

I very much disagree with David here, though I totally understand the

Note that there isn't a single complete spark skin available for public

My thoughts are -- it depends on the application.

http://scalenine.com/gallery/ had tried something similar. I think they
would have been more successful if they had a more complete and consistent

Nice work Jude.
Apache does not "employ" anyone. If you are a designer or know a
designer that wants to help: It is a great thing to contribute this sort
of things.
However: Please use a new thread for that topic. I started this thread
to find new ideas for the next flex user interface.

I second the idea of putting together a bit of a styleguide for people to
use when building applications... maybe a combination of best practices and
examples for what you can do with the framework.
I also would encourage us to employ some talented developer/designers to
