We could make a compelling case for airing business and licensing details in public, or in private. For Livecode, as a company that is already poor on the spectrum of transparency and communication, and at times truth-telling. (though improving) I vote NO to taking the conversations private.
If you are wondering what I mean ..... No public roadmap on what is going to get done or not going to get done any time soon. Lack of candor is all statements made, such as not addressing the fact that we have funded features you have not delivered (when telling us you spend more on the platform than you make.) The community as a whole has no clue if the script compiler will ever happen......... Those are 2 examples. Sooooooo ... I say having to make public statements as part of the new future of livecode might be a good thing. Why is anyone trying to decide what gets talked about here and what doesn't to begin with? Is it spam? no. Is it livecode related, yes.
