Constellation

[Ben Fisher]

Well, I guess Constellation beat me to it... I had also been working on a
similar script editing interface. It looks pretty nice though.
 Just a few comments...
 It seems like a lot of the plug-ins and tools for Revolution lately are
being sold. There is nothing wrong with this, in fact most of the time these
products look nicer and are easier to use.
 However, I am always more attracted to free open-source projects, not just
because of the price, but also because of the spirit. Developers helping
each other, one of the reasons I subscribe to this list. If I download
open-source code, I can contribute to the project. All fellow developers can
profit from my contributions, and not just the few who can afford to buy.
Perhaps Revolution is partly at fault: that stacks (not being text files)
are not as easy to be developed by a team. Or maybe I just belong to a
different generation of coders?
 After thriving off of free software for so long, it felt kind of awkward
for me to spend the money to even upgrade my version of Revolution. Paying
money just to get the language? I'm sure many other potential Rev developers
are discouraged by the same type of feelings.
 I propose that a central website be created, full of code from the Rev
universe. More structured than a wiki, files would be uploaded into
categories and directories, but the whole database could be quickly
searched. Most importantly, there would be a section composed of tools and
utilities all completely free and open source. I know websites like this
already exist, but it would be so much cooler if there were one
authoritative Rev Source.
