And a tasty meal it is.

I have a couple robots chewing away at the edges of part of that problem 
as I write this (more on that later), but since computers are too stupid 
to count past 1 we could use some human insight here.

RevNet (in Rev see Development->Plugins->GoRevNet) is a community-driven 
project designed to compliment RevJournal.com in providing tools and 
resources for the Rev community.

I have a rather significant overhaul in the works with RevNet, and 
central to that overhaul is an inherent extensibility and greater focus 
on tools.

So while I'm working on that I'd like to remind people of the mission of 
both RevNet and RevJournal.com:  of, for, and by Rev developers.

I'm very interested in exploring a wide range of ways we can make the 
most out of having a web site and stack venue bundled with the product 
to make working with Rev ever more powerful and liberating.

I've been discussing some collaborative work on RevNet with some others 
here, and always welcome more.

Please feel free to submit ideas for things you'd find useful both at a 
web site like RevJournal and in the IDE via RevNet.  If you have time 
and interest in helping to code some of those things so much the better.

Consider RevJournal and RevNet as extensions of this community - 
collaboration is very welcome.  Indeed, that's why they're here.
