Comment (by melchoyce):

 My notes from WordCamp San Francisco:

 - "Install & Activate" instead of just Install, then Activate
 - Label changes from Downloading… to Installing… to Activating… to show
 some progression when downloading something big/slow
 - Design alert styling (will attach next)
 - Mock up ftp creds screen w/ explanatory text that is similar to the
 modal you get when you're logged out
         - "To perform the requested action, WordPress needs to access your
 web server."
         - Hostname (localhost, yoursite.com)
         - Username
         - Password
                 - Help text: "This password will not be stored on the
 server."
         - Public/private key
                 - "Enter the location on the server where the keys are
 located. If a passphrase is needed, enter that in the password field
 above."
         - Radio buttons: ftp/ftps(ssl)/ssh
         - Submit button
 - Mock up what it looks like on the add new themes page
         - Also try updating mockup from the theme detail modal
