Hi guys, Andrew, I can help, I think the community has to make an effort if we want to get to ApacheCon 2021 😝
Have you thought about a redesign of the website or a "translation"? How could I contribute?

Hi: At the moment the Royale website depends on a private server running WordPress. I wonder if it is time to build and deploy it using Royale itself. We don't need the great strengths of Royale--dynamic display, subtle data-processing, and so on--to support the site. It is (as all projects sites are intended to be) a flat, relatively static website. That should mean that running our own website with the aid of our own tool should be far from impossible. What is required? If I understand correctly, we would need Infra to provide a virtual machine on which we could install and run a stable instance of Royale, and a repository of the site's source code in MXML and AS files, just like a real Royale application.. Each time we updated a page or a file in the website repository, Infra's automated tools would set off a build and deployment of the updated site. Some time ago a proof-of-concept was partly built to do this very thing, so we have some resources to start from. Benefits: -- Since it is a simple website, it should probably be an exercise contributors and committers at many skill levels could help work on. -- It would give us a "brag" to point to. -- We would move over to open-source resources, rather than those of WordPress.. -- Infra has an efficient and stable CI process in place that can work with Royale's command-line to trigger builds and deployment. -- Other???? Costs: -- Time to migrate the existing site into Royale assets. -- Other????? What do you all think of such a proposal? a -- Andrew Wetmore
