Where LiveCode is Now

[Heather Laine]

:) and there it is. I am happy and relieved to be able to forgive and move on.

We all want the same thing here: for LiveCode to be hugely successful. Our official BHAG (Big Hairy Audacious Goal, this is real actual terminology believe it or not) as stated in our company articles is and has been for some years to see LiveCode as number 1 on the Tiobe index. Our means for getting there may differ, but we can at least all agree on the goal.

Onwards and upwards.

Warmest Regards, 

Heather

Both the number of bugs and the number fixed are pretty impressive. Comparing the two (which takes a while, as we're still finding old bugs) might be more meaningful than promoting either on its own.

Not to mention an LC teacher and Unicode tester and all-around issue awareness raiser. And a longstanding part and practically parcel of this list community, whose missing presence might be felt.

>> I'm part Scottish too, you know? Our genetic curse may be that we bottle in all our opinions (the very few we have) and keep it inside our entire lives, and never express ourselves in the least. (Ha ha.) For several years on some occasions with fairly wild threads I've wanted to joke: for goodness sake, speak up for yourself! But I rarely chime in here. I'm writing this email now, just in case it's the last opportunity to say that.
