Thank you for the kind words about RevNet. Yes, RevNet is as much a file sharing index for developers as much it is an information directory, so relying on an Internet connection allows us real-time updates of contributions. Another element is simply the joy of a fun "proof of concept", an attempt to answer this question: How many hours would it take one person armed with Revolution to build what takes a small army of engineers several months to do at AOL? If AOL-TimeWarner had an eye for return on investment (and with a $99 billion loss perhaps they don't <g>) they'd jump at the chance to re-build AOL in Revolution. They'd have one code base for every platform, a Linux version, simultaneous rollout for new versions across platforms, and they'd probably spend less on the complete re-build than they do now on a single upgrade. :) BTW: If you decide to compile an FRQ for Rev drop me a note. I have some FAQ-building tools I could pass to you and maybe we could add access to it into RevNet. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Media Corporation Developer of WebMerge 2.2: Publish any database on any site ___________________________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.FourthWorld.com Tel: 323-225-3717 AIM: FourthWorldInc _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
