Greetings y'all, particularly to those who are interested in MC IDE, Something wonderful has happened to me/us this week. I've got a paying customer who wants to invest in the development of a MetaCard-based authoring system like MetaCard or RunRev, but it has to be even simpler than both of these. Given that I'm the author of the current incarnation of FreeGUI, e.g. a MetaCard-based clone of HyperCard, it should not be surprising that I suggested FreeGUI to this customer. He accepted! This means that he will be investing money in the development of FreeGUI to make it useable and easy enough for this customer's target audience : administrators, teachers and students in 500 schools in Quebec. No, it's not a typo, nor is it a mistake ... *500* schools will be using it as early as this coming summer (thousands of teachers and students). A total breakthrough! :))
The relevance for this group : * FreeGUI has been crafted with MetaCard ; * FreeGUI can easily be adapted to work with Rev ; * FreeGUI is the GUI of FreeCard (which btw they're also interested in) * FreeGUI and MC-IDE have a similar goal : to develop and maintain a free open-source alternative IDE for the MC-engine. Our efforts could therefore be coordinated in order to synergize both our projects, or merged together to form ONE stronger project. * My paying customer allows me to offer someone on this list a *job*, for the next three months minimum, to help me achieve our holy grail of crafting a free open-source authoring system easy enough for non-developers. Yup! A job! The only catch is that you have to be 29 years old or less, and you have to be currently residing in Quebec (preferably in Montreal). And, of course, you have to be competent with MetaCard or RunRev, including TransScript of course. The following would be assets in your favour: experience in GUI design, French language, Java and XML, familiarity with HyperCard. Web-savvyness would be a big plus too ( PHP, mySQL, XML-RPC, secure sockets, etc). So are there any young Montrealers out there looking for some breakthru xCard work ? :)) Please mail your comments [about MC-IDE and FreeGUI integration], as well your CV if you're interested in the job, to the following address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Pretty wild, eh! :)) Alain F __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
