Hmm… most open source efforts? Would be interested in stats. My expectation would be most just use GitHub. Regardless I think we all have more helpful things to do rather than replicate GitHub functionality. Having said that it’s open source so anyone can feel free to maintain some other means of access to the source. It would be a hefty task because it’s constantly changing. You can download as a folder from GitHub I think although as Brian said our build tools run some git commands for various things.. probably only the current commit hash is required so you could work around that. If you are interested in building LiveCode from source then I’d suggest the simplest route is to follow our documented instructions that Brian pointed to. They include the few git commands required to get the source.
