Richard, Thanks for the link.
I look at LiveCode website once a while to see what's new, but did not
stumble onto this page.
I went back to livecode.com home page and tried to navigate to the above
page, and had some difficulty finding it! I was looking for a page that
compares Community and Commercial editions (I have seen it before), but
couldn't navigate to it from the home page. I wonder if most people who come
to the website to find out about the licenses will actually end up with full
information. Others have said it before, the live code website badly needs
some help.
Sri.
You are not the first person who has stated that the RunRev
website is rather difficult to navigate around.
Or, let's be a bit more specific: the RunRev and the Livecode
websites (they have 2 addresses: www.runrev.com and www.livecode.com);
that of itself is a bit confusing.
---------------------------------------------------------
Anyway: back to the Livecode website . . .
I want to find the sourcecode of the OSS version
of Livecode.
Where do I start looking?
Well, at a guess, I should click on "Developers" . . .
On the Developers page I get a long, confusing list down the left-hand side.
Now, if I'm a mind reader I work out that I should click on "Resources
and Support"
[I found that by clicking my way down the list]
Then I get a shorter list in green:
"There are a variety of Guides to various aspects of LiveCode available at
Beginners
Developers
Moving to LiveCode
iOS Externals
LiveCode Server
Contributing to LiveCode"
Clicking my way through all of them, I eventually find that
"Contributing to Livecode"
-------------------------------------------
Returning to "www.livecode.com" I enter "sourcecode" into the search field
and search; and get a long list where there is no link to the sourcecode
in the first
10 entries at all.
Gives me a socking great green list . . .
Nowhere in that list can I see the phrase "source code"
Having clicked my way about a third of the way down the list on
"Installing and using GitHub " I get another page where there is a green
link:
"https://github.com/RunRev/LiveCode";
where I find the source code, which is NOT downloadable as a ZIP file, a
TARBALL, or anything
else unitary, but a thing which I have to fiddle around with via a
Terminal emulator to get organised
into a folder on my machine.
------------------------------------
Quod erat demonstrandum est.
Richmond.
