That may be the best place for it - good idea.

Please do post that in the forum thread:

I'm not sure how PHPBB sends notifications for such things, but I 
approved your account yesterday.

More or less.  When they were still eGroups they were kinda useful, but 
since the Yahoo acquisition there have been complaints about 
difficulties logging in, and no way to get assistance from anyone in 
Support at Yahoo.  In fact, there was an outage with their 
authentication server yesterday that prevented me from posting there, 
which is why I decided it's probably a good time to roll out the new 
forum Ken and I have been setting up for RIP, which now also includes an 
area for the MC IDE.

I haven't yet moved all of the relevant RPI and MC assets to their new 
home at LiveCodeJournal.com, but I intend to finish that soon.

Having a site where we control how it's set up, with no limits on file 
sizes, etc., offers us much more flexibility for building an effective 
working group going forward.

Among other benefits is allowing us to share the file repository without 
having to require membership.  Down the road we can even make those 
files directly accessible via RevNet as well, something we couldn't do 
at Yahoo Groups.

If you see any opportunities you'd like to help with, drop me a note and 
I can set you up with permissions, FTP, or whatever else is needed to 
make that happen.

When Alan Golub first established the original RevJournal.com site, he 
did so in the spirit of making it a community effort.  After he 
transferred the management of the site to me, which has since migrated 
to LiveCodeJournal.com, I've tried to maintain his vision by inviting 
all interested members of the community to consider it their home, open 
to any useful resources you'd like to see there.
