I’m about ready to go into the documentation on this, not only for myself, but for our design team and for our illustrators.
I would like to make this collaborative in the sense that we would invite a limited number of contributors to the documentation. It would include some PDF’s templates for media-on-physical media (think water color or acrylic on small art pads) artists. Pixel definitions for digital artists and a simple LC stack with big rect on different cards with borders and a floating pallette that would dynamically change the stack size to simulate what happens on different devices, showing live content “safe zone” and the background over flow… etc So… where do we put all such documentation? Other “open source” software typically maintain a DOKU style Wiki (or MediaWiki) for documentation of this nature. (e.g. Synfig) once a small group refines the documentation then we can release it to a wider group for more additions. Google docs could work and Google Drive, but me-thinks it would be better to somehow keep this in a LiveCode universe.. OR do the whole thing, including notes all in the stack… but then it gets back to: How does a team collaborate on a stack? (obviously a script only stack can’t work because this is all about the presentation layer) Any thoughts?
