Ah. Open source does thankfully not mean governance by committee or by consensus. *Someone* has to make the decisions. The entire source for the engine and the IDE and all is available for anyone to grab, make changes as desired, and build their own version. The result, of course, also has to be open source - contributing code back to the main trunk for the common good is encouraged, but there's no guarantee of acceptance. But the build process is documented, and if you want to create LiveRichmond for special purposes that are not in the official build, you're welcome to do so. And feel free to incorporate my alternatelanguages branch when you do. -- -Mark Wieder mwie...@ahsoftware.net _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
