I made a PubSub dispatcher library some years ago. If the livecodeshare 
or whatever it's called now website is back in operation it should be 
there. But not having to use Yet Another Library within the IDE is 
awesome. In the past this has only been useful to a proscribed set of 
messages and stacks which has been limiting. My PowerTools plugin, for 
instance, has some unused controls that are necessary because other 
places in the IDE send mouseUp messages to controls that are expected to 
exist in particular places. Decoupling those messages through publishing 
and subscribing removes the dependency and the need for in-depth 
knowledge of the internal workings of other stacks. And leads the way 
for the IDE to be a framework for a collection of independent stacks.

Ah... found it.

That took some doing. Any idea why livecodeshare is at runrev.com 
instead of livecode.com/org whatever? I would have thought there would 
at least be a redirect, but livecodeshare.livecode.com just throws a 404.
