Royale helps modernize Flex applications AND provides a great alternative to revitalize the next generation Flex ecosystem as a viable alternative to Javascript solutions such as React, Angular, and Vue.
Get paid to help bring Apache Royale to version 1.0! If you are interested in getting paid to help bring Royale to market as 1.0 then: 1) join the d...@royale.apache.org mailing list 2) review the recent discussions on what needs to be fixed on Nabble: http://apache-royale-development.20373.n8.nabble.com 3) Submit to the d...@royale.apache.org mailing list your bid for assistance to the group by Friday May 3 The Moonshine-IDE.com team is willing to donate $2,500 USD in total over the next 30 days to anyone who can accomplish what Alex and Carlos want to see happen to call it release 1.0. IF you who are willing to step up to the plate immediately (with a deliverable no later than May 26, 2019) to help with: * documentation (ASDoc style) * examples (code snippets that do things like Tour de Royale) * tutorials (well written, friendly, understandable, educational material) * a mini reproduction of the aforementioned Flex In a Week Series (great idea!) https://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/videotraining.html * build automation * automated test cases * creation of a summary comparison table showing Royale relative to React, Vue, Angular * a longer write up of competitive articles detailed why Royale is important. BTW, one reason it can be important is because it is NOT controlled by giant companies. * a directory of consultants for hire: * OR anything else Alex and Carlos specifically need to be convinced to push to 1.0 release THEN Please submit to this public group your commitment and cost. We will then do this democratically: deadline for bid submissions is 7 days from now -- Friday May 3. Carlos (or someone who knows Twitter enough to create another poll) will then do another Twitter vote poll for 3 days to decide who gets the bids Ideally multiple people will commit to doing something "small" for $500 each and we can award 5 people the projects. The $2,500 USD total will be paid via PayPal. No exceptions. IF within 30 days Apache Royale 1.0 is released to the public then the Moonshine-IDE.com team will again donate $2,500 for the month of June in an identical voting scenario (assuming this one works well) to bring home a 1.1 release. By 60 days from now, a new user who has never seen Royale before or programmed in ActionScript should be able to: 1) Arrive at the Apache Royale web page 2) Understand from the home page why they should care about the project if they come from React, Vue, Angular, Flex, or ActionScript worlds 3) Be able to within 5 mouse clicks (download button, install button, launch button, build button, run button) go from having nothing on their machine to having an IDE (we of course volunteer Moonshine but Visual Studio Code should be a goal for this, too) on their machine with a successful build of their first "hello world". No command line nonsense. No learning NPM, Git, downloading 20 required packages. See Royale website. Want to try it. 5 clicks later build your Hello World. If the above 3 goals are met, then the Moonshine-IDE.com team will run a 3rd donation round of $2,500 for the month of July in a manner to the description above to bring home a 1.2 release, to be published no later than the end of July 2019 for the awards to be paid. Hopefully this helps motivate the team. Thank you, Justin Hill
