Imagine a world in which HyperCard had been open sourced 20 years ago?

Agreed.  Though I suspect SourceForge is so vast as to make it difficult for 
a newbie to locate Rev stuff.

Same here.

Clearly, from comments on this list, this idea has been toyed with.  I have 
both the server space and a domain name that can do it, but I won't move 
forward until I either ascertain nobody is going to do it or that efforts to 
do it don't go anywhere.  Then again - I might decide just to go ahead with 
it.  If the community indicates I should go ahead then I'll just do it 
anyway.  :-)
