I would like to bring this to your attention (apologies if it has already been done).
Livecode (previously incarnated as Hypercard, or Metacard or Revolution) is undergoing a radical change – a move to make the platform Open Source. I have used this environment for amateur hacking tasks for many years, and believe that it has much more potential than I could ever realise. It is a platform for deployment across all systems (linux, mac, Windows, mobile) and is highly object oriented and starts from a GUI design. The originators of LiveCode (based in Edinburgh) are running a KickStarter campaign to make their platform open source. If you are interested in software development, in education or in open source GUI wrappers, LiveCode may be of interest. Hence, I am bringing this to your attention. The campaign has 2 days to run, and is about 15% short of target. Have a look, and if you see the potential for an open source variant, please consider support. I should also make clear I have no affiliation with LiveCode, nor do I stand to gain in any way from this posting. I hope it is within the spirit of the open source movement to bring this to your attention. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1755283828/open-source-edition-of-livecode Prof R J Beynon | Royal Society Industrial Fellow | Protein Function Group Institute of Integrative Biology University of Liverpool Crown Street | Liverpool | L69 7ZB +44 151 794 4312 [email protected] http://www.liv.ac.uk/pfg _______________________________________________ BBB mailing list [email protected] http://www.bioinformatics.org/mailman/listinfo/bbb
