Dear List Folks,

Great interview just been posted to the blog!


Finally got around to reading this today. Great questions, Trevor!
And wide-ranging, thoughtful answers from Kevin and Mark. If I needed 
reassuring that we were on the right track (I don't), this would have 
done the trick.

Roland I really liked your words!

The best skiing is when you are a bit scared - the best goals are the scary
goals

LiveCode workers I take my hat off to you all

PS: wanna go skiing?

I really liked your words, Bob .

I once managed a developer team coming from far. One of the guys wanted to
learn skiing and I had a wild thought, I bring him up to the highest peak
of the mountains above 10,000 feet, and we just try. It took almost a full
day to go down the slopes. I never ever critizised, only cheered him up for
every right move he did. At the end of that day he could no longer move,
but he had learned skiing, and the next day he went on his own.

It was a fantastic experience, for me, and for him, and even years later we
enjoyed the memory of it.

I also feel like cheering up this fantastic team, and all the creative
people here, and let us go to the highest peak, nothing less, never giving
up, moving ahead, supporting, and focusing attention to the right moves.
Such attitude supports our own set of skills mastering the fulfillment of
our own ideas. All are the team.

Re: Trevor DeVore interviews CTO and CEO

[Bob Sneidar]

Years ago, a company called Now Software decided it was time to refactor their 
aging code base to produce a more modern application that would be much easier 
to develop new features for. They wanted to switch from a proprietary database 
to a SQL base so that it would be easier to create other applications that 
could interface with the data.

They stumbled along for about two years, not really getting very far, producing 
a few alphas, and in the end they not only gave up, but they closed their doors 
and stopped distributing the software altogether. So my favorite multiuser 
contact, to-do, and calendar application I depended on, which many argued was 
the best in the business at the time, fell into ruin, because they took on this 
obviously gargantuan task.

This was my fear for Livecode when I heard of what they were about to attempt, 
and I fairly held my breath the whole time. But here we are today, and the 
nearly unattainable has been attained, and I for one take my hat off to all the 
developers and salute them. We all know how easy it is to start something, and 
how hard it is to finish it (finishing something is, by the way in my 
estimation, a myth).

The fact that we are here should instill great confidence in us all that the 
developers at Runrev can pull off pretty much what they set their minds to, and 
I can attest to the fact that I am much more motivated about my own projects 
when someone looks at them and says, "Hey, I could really use that!"

I guess what I am saying in a roundabout way is we ought to pause as the 
Livecode community and temper our criticism about what isn't in LC8, and 
consider how it would be if there was no LC8 at all, and furthermore no RunRev 
anymore. .

Great interview! I can only imagine what the dev team went through to do this 
project. I'm happy to double my pledge. With this campaign, and  the great 
foundation that has been laid with the first Kickstarter campaign, new feature 
and tools should come out much faster.

Best,
Bill
