I have suggested some requirements, some "nice to have" things and some things that are not required; however these are just my ideas. Input from others until we reach consensus would be useful.

Do we use these repositories, or create a new one for this effort? a 1. https://github.com/apache/royale-asjs/wiki/Royale-project-site-built-with-Royale On Fri, Apr 16, 2021 at 12:29 PM Alina Kazi <alinakazi1...@gmail.com> wrote: > Congrats Andrew. > > Yes we can add viewstates (includeIn), phone/tablet/desktop Numerator > denominator to adjust the view on different devices, common header and > footer and much more. > We'll be waiting for the wiki page tomorrow to get started. > > Thanks, > Alina Kazi > > On Fri, 16 Apr 2021, 7:29 PM Piotr Zarzycki, <piotrzarzyck...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > > Congrats Andrew! > > > > pt., 16 kwi 2021 o 13:31 Andrew Wetmore <cottag...@gmail.com> > napisał(a): > > > > > Today my wife and I have appointments, a long drive from home, to get > our > > > first COVID-19 injections.
