I still don't understand why this distinction was made.

That was an idea I pitched to the team, and as we thought it through it seemed a good fit for what LiveCode Ltd. is doing. Over time we may find a unified site is better, but at the moment I like where things are potentially headed.

Many open source projects have a .org domain for their community efforts, including drupal.org, apache.org, r-project.org, python.org, wordpress.org, getfedora.org, etc.

By splitting .org from .com, we have the opportunity to allow the company to hone their messaging for developers of proprietary apps at .com, while providing a portal at .org for not only the software itself, but also resources for community projects, contribution assistance, EDU tools and support, and more.

We're still early days with the .org site, and they haven't set set up the facilities to allow a community web team to augment that domain with relevant community info.

But we'll get there, hopefully soon.
