I appreciate Mark's comment about keeping noise here down so this will 
be my only comment on this, but I believe On-Rev discussion is a 
valuable part of this list which should remain here.

Rev encompasses the breadth of modern mainstream computing:  Windows, 
Mac, Linux, and the web.  With the CGI it's been this way for years, and 
now with the new enhanced server components it's only getting better.

The lines between the desktop and the web are becoming blurred, with 
browser-based apps taking on new capabilities once only possible on the 
  desktop, and desktop apps taking advantage of Internet protocols for 
shared workflows, immediate updates, and more.

I see no significant distinction between On-Rev and the desktop 
Revolution product.  They occupy different ends of a spectrum of 
capabilities, and together they cover the range of options across that 
spectrum.

So FWIW, I would suggest that On-Rev discussion remain here as the 
valuable contribution it is, addressing the other half of modern 
client-server systems.
