It's all happening over on the Rev list. This one is mostly just to 
discuss the MC IDE.

I think you'll find everything you want to know if you search the list 
archives: <http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.comp.ide.revolution.user>

You can join the Rev list here: 
<http://www.runrev.com/developers/community/>

Info about revserver and revWeb are in the lessons near the top of this 
page: <http://lessons.runrev.com>. Basically there are two new web 
technologies: one is client-side (revWeb plugin) and the other is 
server-side (RevServer.) They are also working on RevMobile to allow 
deployment to Android phones.
