Rev and open source (was "What Rev Needs")

[Marielle Lange]

Devin,

Not too loud.... that's an idea I am working on, using revolution to  
both rapidly define (scripter side) and rapidly present (user side)  
visual interfaces used to define parameters to Unix scripts. A not so  
detailed overview at: <http://projects.lexicall.org/taskflow/> and  
<http://projects.lexicall.org/exercist/>. More details to follow soon.
