Re: Contributing to the IDE

Thanks for the clear rationale. I'll take a shot at building the whole thing tomorrow. Two questions: 1. Are older versions closed to changes? If I find a bug in LC 8.1.8 (or some update to it) is it pointless to fix the bug and submit a pull request? 2. Is it fair to submit IDE pull requests the

Re: Contributing to the IDE

Thanks, on the basis of this document I *think* I was able to submit a pull request for an update to the documentation for the itemOffset function. We'll see if that's what I really did, and if successfully so. I'd highly recommend removing/updating the reference to a specific version in this docu

I also just remembered that much of the information that you may find helpful is in the contributing to docs page which you may not have read if your interest is in source contributions. https://github.com/livecode/livecode/blob/develop/docs/contributing_to_docs.md

Re: Contributing to the IDE

I have to admit, this is very frustrating. I *have* read both documents referenced, and neither comes close to answering my question. I remember reading those documents, or their ancestors, when LC first went open source, and I would likely have started contributing to the IDE then except they
