> But clearly, having NONE is not the answer. Well, but it is an answer, until you find the right business case to "ask the question". I don't think it's a question of if LiveCode could fit the role or not that HC did. We've been talking about all these great free stacks HC had (or caused to make), and how that was attractive to something we now know used to exist. If there was suddenly a free LC with the same stacks that HC had (modestly updated), that's not to say the market response would be the same as before.
Given the market now - is there an heir to the inventive user of significant potential size, and what other qualities/industries define them so LC can be marketed to them? Figuring out who they are would also necessarily drive what sort of free project stacks ago should be built. LC's sitting pretty well as a deployment based, cross platform solution with mobile, server and desktop - so pursuing the inventive user? Needs a lot more definition to help drive product development and not be contrary to where LC's been successful.
