I would like to help with this project. I am drafting the format for a press
release (PR) and I will volunteer to be the press contact. I can also help with
copy editing. However, I will need someone to help me fill in the content. This
document should be 400 - 500 words in 4 - 5 paragraphs. The elements in the
document I am formatting are listed here [1].
The PR piece needs to answer a few questions in my view:
What has just been released, by who, & how was the work done?
Why should the business manager use Apache Flex (the open source release)
instead of another development language?
=> list the most important business benefits of Apache Flex
4.9 in this area.
Why should current application owners upgrade their existing Adobe Flex
applications to the community release?
=> add quote in this section
What capabilities does the Apache Flex release 4.9 have for business managers
and developers that Adobe Flex 4.6 does not?
=> add quote in this section
Because this new SDK was released, what breakthroughs have occurred? (is it
first? is it best? is it preferred? is it the only?)
=> add quote in this section
There should be 2 - 3 quotes in it from a couple of developers involved in the
project that adds credibility to the piece.
