Obviously, RunRev is in a very competitive marketplace and would rather
surprise us with development announcements than give clues or schedules that
would help the competition.  Guys like me who will not develop anything that
will assist RunRev's drive to build a company should be happy to have such a
tool at an early stage.  This tool is perfect for my challenges as
an "inventive programmer" who will never publish or sell a completed app,
but be able to make substantial profits from my businesses running on Rev.

If I was a competitor, I would follow this list and take notes.  In that
light, I am quite content to use this list as Kevin suggests, for the
programming tricks and conundrums topics, and fore-go the market placement
discussions.

RunRev will have my support for the next however-many years, but that and a
cup of coffee will get you a cup of coffee.
