One addendum to what Richard delineated about the transition from
Metacard to Revolution after Kevin bought the Metacard engine from Scott
Raney:
The agreement between Scott Raney and Kevin and its details is one
matter, the commitment made by Kevin to members of the Metacard user
group is another.
I had a discussion with Kevin at that time about the future relation of
Metacard and Revolution. Among other things I had proposed to keep and
maintain Metacard as a sort of "Revolution lite" that would have of
course less features than were planned for Revolution.
Kevin disagreed to this proposal, probably fearing a competition in his
own house then, also in financial terms. I do not remember exactly what
he said concerning this point. But he assured me that the compatibility
of all future Revolution engines with the Metacard IDE would be
guaranteed. I do not know which other members got similar messages, but
that is what he promised to me at least.
We might find these messages in the old archives.
Regards,
Wilhelm Sanke
