For now, it seems convenient to do a few quick tweaks to the existing code (that uses the flex-sdk repo) to get folks like myself up and running with a working copy of Royale. Postponing having a way to set up Royale on a clean system (which mine is) makes it very difficult for new devs to join the project.
The window is short, we can likely get a few former contributors back now the dust has settled... I understand that y'all have been working with the SDK on a daily basis for years and this might not seem a priority, but if setting up a dev machine is anything but dead simple - or at least very clear - it will make me less motivated. If I have to guess or ask about more than a few steps in getting this set up, you've lost me. So to speak.
