Hi John In my reply didn't use any numbers (didn't think of Jacque's idea of citing the number of coders who supported the open source project). I relied on the visible Runrev community; pointing my potential client to the forum and this mailing list, asking him to note how active both are and suggested he look at the subject titles and quality of responses - and it would be evident that many used Livecode for a living, and that there was a deep well of expertise in the platform. As to whether this approach worked - still to early to say but I THINK it was enough to convince him :)
Since then I see that RunRev's latest newsletter has a "who are you" item which I hope will give us all some numbers and insight which we can use in the future Kind regards Dave John Dixon wrote >> I think this is a great idea - just a few days ago I was answering a >> concern >> of a potential client, who as part of wanting to know that LiveCode was a >> valid choice as a platform, wanted to know how many people (especially >> professional programmers) were using it > > So, Dave ... how did you answer this question ? > > _______________________________________________ > use-livecode mailing list > use-livecode@.runrev > Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your > subscription preferences: > http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode ----- "Some are born coders, some achieve coding, and some have coding thrust upon them." - William Shakespeare & Hugh Senior -- View this message in context: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/LiveCode-Where-How-and-with-Who-tp4685530p4685555.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
