Hi Om, I ran the install. I don't think the package.json is the one from the released source artifact, so I think we might need to call this a nightly. But it does seem to work!
Thanks for figuring something out so folks don't have to use URLs. One question though: Is having folks use @apache-royale/royale-js better than some day having folks use just apache-royale-js or might we switch to apache-royale-js some day? I've never seen the @org/package before, but I don't use NPM much, so I don't know what folks expect.
