Several times over the last decade I've discussed with the team the possibility of creating a community-managed repo, like Python, Perl, and other languages have. This is quite achievable as a community project, and would free up resources within LC Ltd. Of course for such an effort to be worthwhile it needs the blessing of the mother ship. There should be one repo, and no one wants to put many hours of work into something the company might later displace with their own. The last time I was keen on this I stopped pursuing it based on this post: http://lists.runrev.com/pipermail/use-livecode/2016-November/232864.html That was quite a while ago. I've resisted drawing attention to it since then because I kept hearing it's still in progress but needs more time, and I see no value in creating any suggestion of controversy over things we all experience like fluctuating priorities and shifting deadlines. That said, it has been a while, and the value of one centralized repository for all LC add-ons has not diminished. I believe it's time for the community and the company to come together with a solid, actionable plan for a single repo that will exist by a knowable date. With one name. And only one name. :) This needn't require any development resources from the company, but would at a minimum require that they respect the effort, link to it, and not displace it. This seems valuable for everyone. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Systems Software Design and Development for the Desktop, Mobile, and the Web ____________________________________________________________________ ambassa...@fourthworld.com http://www.FourthWorld.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
