Hi Folks,
For years I have owned the domain "lovelivecode.com". At one point I lost
it, but decided to buy it again a few months ago.

Recently,I am seeing the glaring need in the community (also touched on by
recent threads):
Yes, I agree (some).
I don't have a ton of time to spend on it, but thanks to modern tools, I
don't need lots of time.
Please give me a quick reply
1. If this interests you.
2. And If you would like to be involved with it
1. Yes, I'm interested.
2. Yes, I'd ike to be involved.
3. BUT I am wary :-)
I fully agree that we are missing some of those things, and that a
community effort could maybe help fill some of them. But we also already
suffer from duplication and fragmentation (and too many possible places
to have to go look).
So I think that unless we are confident that there is enough interest,
commitment and agreement on goals, we would be better off not even
starting . Sorry if that sounds negative - but the last thing we need to
do is to use up the rather scarce resource we have (i.e. our own time)
on a likely-to-fail effort.
So I'm going to pick over your stated goals, and comment on them. Partly
think of this as an attempt to avoid "boiling the ocean" - we'd be
better getting success on 2 or 3 goals than only a little bit of
progress on 10 of them.
Here are my goals:
For LoveLivecode.com to be a "modern" central hub for:
Not sure what 'modern' is (or whether I like it :-) And central could
mean 'one place for everything' which I think is not practical.
The goals, rearranged into a different order to suit me:
LC News
Member Post Feed
Communication between members (forums / PMs)
Here I think we already have adequate choices (and fragmentation). I
would love to find a way to unify the forums and the use-list - but if
it was going to be easy, it would have happened by now. And a separate
(non-LCLtd) solution is just going to be another fragment.
(Up-to-date) Educational resources
Yeah, could be possible.
Code snippets
Sample Files
Yes, definitely. I think there is a particular gap in this area
(libraries) but I'll keep that for a possible later detailed discussion.
Events / Online & Live
Community Polls (to help livecode inc to understand us better)
Yes - I'm sure there is interest for this, even if we are all not sure
what we want, we really do want something.
Developer Directory (And maybe project submission for developer bids??)
and Ad space for anyone whose target market is LC Developers.
Yes, why not.
I hope you (we) can get something going, even if I'm not sure yet what I
most want it to be.
Alex.
P.S. is it "love livecode" or "love. live. code." ?
