Ah. Open source does thankfully not mean governance by committee or by
consensus. *Someone* has to make the decisions. The entire source for
the engine and the IDE and all is available for anyone to grab, make
changes as desired, and build their own version. The result, of
course, also has to be open source - contributing code back to the
main trunk for the common good is encouraged, but there's no guarantee
of acceptance. But the build process is documented, and if you want to
create LiveRichmond for special purposes that are not in the official
build, you're welcome to do so. And feel free to incorporate my
alternatelanguages branch when you do.
