Hi Alex, thank you for your detailed reply. I appreciate it. I think you are right ..... I too don't have a lot of interest going down this road if no one wants it.
I feel like nothing out there, LC related, feels like its maintained of kept up to date. Livecode themselves don't really have much of a social presence. So for new developers, it all just seems 'stale'. A modern, maintained site with up to date content would very easily become one of the top results for those searching for livecode. (I could be wrong) I just think of it as an opportunity that would also help to freshen things up. Thanks for pointing out the play on words..... the answer.....its BOTH. :D I'm going to post an update on this in a few days.
