That's a very useful page, which I think I hadn't noticed before. I'd
been to http://livecode.com/community/ and followed all the major links
(i.e. those in the main body), which almost matches those on the
left-menu. I hadn't noticed the two lists of links were slightly
different. Says something about how people browse web pages :-( OK, it
says something about how *I* browse web pages :-)
The roadmap page could maybe do with some kind of a date on it to show
when it was last updated, or some indication of which versions or
timescale is being considered for each of the major parts.

There's a recent Dr. Dobbs article about the historically bad record
the software industry has for delivering accurate estimates:
<http://www.drdobbs.com/architecture-and-design/software-estimation-how-misperceptions-m/240166474>
While your estimates may be consistently spot-on, it seems RunRev's
estimates are more in line with industry averages.
To see what the team is up to the Road Map offers useful guidance:
<http://livecode.com/community/roadmap/>
There we see four major categories of tasks, broken into two groups.
The first group consists of three "strands", related sets of tasks
that form a foundation on which the second group, labeled "Queued",
can the be implemented.
The IDE work is one of the three strands, and a team is currently
working on it.
As Community Manager, part of this role requires me to bring concerns
from the community to the core dev team. My next meeting with them is
tomorrow. and I'll make this an item on that agenda, encouraging the
IDE team to provide an update on their work in the new UI.
With the engine so very much in flux as we move toward v7, we can
expect that work in the IDE has been somewhat hampered by the need to
complete that version, so I don't imagine they're at a stage where we
can expect nifty screen shots and such quite yet.
But I'll see what info I can find and either the team or myself with
provide you some info on where they are with that.

Certainly all quiet on the Edinbrovian front!

After rather more than a year this is quite fun to look at again:

----------------------------
However, one quite significant question pops up:
"We will introduce a *new visual editor* designed around today's
usability standards. The editor will be open. The more technical
members of our community can create simplified versions of the
editor for tablets or primary schools."
When? "Final Delivery. Fall 2013" Aha; of course.
Has this been dropped without us having been informed?
