[MC_IDE] Quick Poll

[Wilhelm Sanke]

One addendum to what Richard delineated about the transition from 
Metacard to Revolution after Kevin bought the Metacard engine from Scott 
Raney:

The agreement between Scott Raney and Kevin and its details is one 
matter, the commitment made by Kevin to members of the Metacard user 
group is another.

I had a discussion with Kevin at that time about the future relation of 
Metacard and Revolution. Among other things I had proposed to keep and 
maintain Metacard as a sort of "Revolution lite" that would have of 
course less features than were planned for Revolution.

Kevin disagreed to this proposal, probably fearing a competition in his 
own house then, also in financial terms. I do not remember exactly what 
he said concerning this point. But he assured me that the compatibility 
of all future Revolution engines with the Metacard IDE would be 
guaranteed. I do not know which other members got similar messages, but 
that is what he promised to me at least.

We might find these messages in the old archives.

Regards,

Wilhelm Sanke
