There are plenty of people here who have moved on from other tools, but I'm 
different from that. I haven't moved on (well, arguably I've moved on from 
HyperCard, but LiveCode is a good substitute for that…), the other tools are 
just taking a break.

In addition to doing some personal things in LiveCode, using it as a production 
tool for clients, and writing a book on using it for mobile development, I 
still do full time Flash programming, and I'm involved in the next version of 
Director. Yes, indeed, it's still moving along! I'm also in on the Unity betas.

For everyone else who doesn't know Skip - he has had a company that specialized 
in kiosk installations, that were naturally done with Director (overall it has 
been the best tool for doing kiosks, and what I've used for all of the ones 
I've done). He also ran a frequent podcast, but we got to a point where there 
wasn't any new-news on Director to talk about, so that came to an end. BTW, 
2/3rd of typical Director kiosks could be done in LiveCode, and the other third 
in Flash, hence Director not being so prominent for now.

For Skip - you should know, and will quickly realize, that the LiveCode 
community is more active than some of the Flash and Director communities 
combined. If you have the slightest thought in your head about LiveCode 
podcasts, they would be well received. We did have a UStream meeting each week 
for a few months, but as with any tool there are only so many subjects to 
cover, and there were just two people organizing the events, and not many 
others volunteering to manager that. Me and a few others did do demos a few 
times, though some of mine were about other tools, not just about things I was 
doing in LiveCode.

Anyway, welcome aboard!
