[OT] Want to help build a new HyperCard

[Richmond]

That has already been discussed over in the forums.

They should not be worrying about building a new Hypercard;
they should just work out how to do a sort of Metacard" front-end for 
Livecode.

Mind you, the kids I teach Livecode to don't seem to have problems
with the LC 7.0 interface.
