You are not the first person who has stated that the RunRev
website is rather difficult to navigate around.

Or, let's be a bit more specific: the RunRev and the Livecode
websites (they have 2 addresses: www.runrev.com and www.livecode.com);
that of itself is a bit confusing.
---------------------------------------------------------

Anyway: back to the Livecode website . . .

I want to find the sourcecode of the OSS version
of Livecode.

Where do I start looking?

Well, at a guess, I should click on "Developers" . . .

On the Developers page I get a long, confusing list down the left-hand side.

Now, if I'm a mind reader I work out that I should click on "Resources 
and Support"

[I found that by clicking my way down the list]

Then I get a shorter list in green:

"There are a variety of Guides to various aspects of LiveCode available at
Beginners
Developers
Moving to LiveCode
iOS Externals
LiveCode Server
Contributing to LiveCode"

Clicking my way through all of them, I eventually find that 
"Contributing to Livecode"
-------------------------------------------

Returning to "www.livecode.com" I enter "sourcecode" into the search field
and search; and get a long list where there is no link to the sourcecode 
in the first
10 entries at all.

Gives me a socking great green list . . .

Nowhere in that list can I see the phrase "source code"

Having clicked my way about a third of the way down the list on

"Installing and using GitHub "  I get another page where there is a green
link:

"https://github.com/RunRev/LiveCode"

where I find the source code, which is NOT downloadable as a ZIP file, a 
TARBALL, or anything
else unitary, but a thing which I have to fiddle around with via a 
Terminal emulator to get organised
into a folder on my machine.
------------------------------------

Quod erat demonstrandum est.
