idea: Contest and promoting Rev to the world

[Jim Ault]

I have an idea for the coding contest, now and in the future.
Note: currently I am starting two businesses and cannot participate, so this
is a suggestion for others.

Dan Shafer made the statement in his keynote that one of the cool things
about Hypercard was that it came with example stacks that let you see what
it could do and look under the hood.  If Rev is going to make real money and
thrive, it has to appeal to customers outside the professional developers.

With that in mind, could one of the 'contest' areas be making the original
collection of stacks from Apple into Rev stacks that might include a section
on 'how they did that'?  Of course, beyond that, many of the powerful things
you could do with Rev today.

I would prefer that the Rev team work on fixing bugs than trying to come up
with a set of demo stacks.

Any interest?  I think it would help promote our favorite development
environment.
Perhaps this could get a little section in theJournal each edition.
