You definitely don't need to work for LiveCode to keep track of the 
evolution of the platform, or even to get involved!  We do all of the 
development of the LiveCode engine completely in the open.

You can monitor and discuss changes going into LiveCode in real time via 
our Github projects <https://github.com/runrev> and via our bug tracker 
<http://quality.runrev.com>.

We recently made it possible for anyone to browse our bug database 
without needing to create an account.

We're committed to transparency, and we're always looking for ways to 
improve our open source development process.
