Hi all,

I'm working for the library department of a big University college in Belgium 
(+13k students). We have spent a year on making a concept for an institutional 
repository. 
Now, we're in the phase of making a tender for the backbone software which will 
handle storage, DOI's etc. High on our list is figshare [1]. We would use 
figshare as a repository backbone and build our own front end using figshare's 
api's.
It will be my responsibility to develop, implement and maintain this front end. 
I  think development will start around february/march 2018 and it will be up to 
me to choose a front end technology. So far, choices are Angular, React or Vue. 
Since I have quite some experience with Flex, I would like to add Royale to 
this list.
I have been following the Flex/Royale dev lists very closely and I'm convinced 
of the quality of the product but:

- will Royale be production ready by february/march?
- is it possible to easily integrate javascript only components into Royale? 
Example: FullCalendar.js [2]
- could anyone provide an IntelliJ template to start with?
- I'll definitely need help during the development proces, will this be 
available?
- and last but not least: is Royale the right choice?

If it is convenient, I can provide a full front end wireframe (built in Adobe 
XD CC) although that should be treated as highly confidential

There is much at stake here so please advise...

thanks in advance

Dany
