Well, Curry, at the risk of causing you terminal disappointment, I can
do nothing but support
your request for the thing to be a simple as possible.
"my budget hardware"
my "budgetist" hard ware is a Pentium 4 I picked up 12 years ago, second
had, for $12 . . .
It has "2000" written on the back of it!
Oddly enough it runs LC 9.0 under Xubuntu 18.04 without a backward glance.
Richmond.
However, having played around with it when I bought it, 12 years ago,
with Windows XP,
that was glacially slow back then

As a "KISS man" (bet Richmond will have fun with that!) my only advice
is: Don't make it one bit more complex than it must be.
Meaning simplicity both for maintenance/quality AND for performance
speed/memory. The Script Editor is already a bit chubby, huffing and
puffing on many machines during a modest jog, and the Dictionary is
waddling around even slower and shakier on my budget hardware than I
move around myself as a handicap person. :D
What people need most in the Script Editor is to view and edit the
code itself smoothly, without jitters or delays; the primary function
of SE. After that, debugging and variables and search are very
helpful. Something like a project wiki would come below all those in
priority, and better not slow things down any further. A wiki could
just as well be external to the SE or to LC - but if it plays nice,
doesn't use cycles or memory or real estate unless it's turned on,
sounds cool.
Supporting a list of standards and whizbang features is nice, but user
comments for keywords are the essence. I would just as soon have user
comments for the Dictionary kept fairly simple and kept in the
Dictionary, rather than in the SE. But it sounds like you have a dream
for this, and I'm glad to see the passion. This will be interesting!
Best wishes,
Curry Kenworthy
