Thanks Sarah,
must have missed that udring one of my "yogic sleeps". :)
Of course, we could use this to get off onto an endless (and, probably
ultimately,
fruitless) discussion about the desktop IDE versus the language.
What I am very interested to know is when the language "took flight" and
became completely independent of the desktop IDE . . . .
Thanks again, Richmond.

I am beginning to wonder if there should not be a second Use-List for
those people who use the On-Rev service, so that those off us who
don't, don't have our in-boxes flooded by messages that are not all

Hi Richmond,
There has already been quite a lot of discussion about this point, so
I will quote you the "official" RunRev response:

Hi folks,
We have a forum set up for users of on-Rev at forums.on-rev.com -- this is
the ideal spot for the latest news/announcements, discussing on-Rev,
technical issues with it, usage concerns, etc.
For example, information about accessing sites placed at the root level of
your hierarchy (that I just reposted here) was originally posted to the
on-Rev forums on Apr 24.
However, we have no problem with folks discussing on-Rev here. The use-rev
list is very simply for "using Revolution." And we consider our product to
be the language, not merely the desktop IDE. The on-Rev service is obviously
a Revolution-based product. Just because it's a subscription service doesn't
matter; people obviously discuss Enteprise-specific issues, even though not
everyone owns Enterprise. So consider discussions about on-Rev officially
on-topic.
Thanks,

Revolution has always had such a broad array of capabilities that,
inevitably, there will be threads that are of no interest to lots of
people reading the list. Personally, there are threads that I merely
skim, or ignore completely, but I know that if/when I need to use a
particular feature, it is very likely that there will be some info in
the list archives, even if I ignored it at the time.
If people prefer, maybe we could all put [On-Rev] in the subjects of
On-Rev emails, so that they can be easily filtered out by those not
wanting to learn about that particular aspect of Revolution yet.
Cheers,
Sarah
