Anyone who's read my previous posts knows I'm into data, lots and lots of data. I like to find connections between data, display data in new ways, and help my colleagues visualise data in ways they haven't thought of. I like info-graphics. If a pictures says a thousand words, a good info-graphic can answer 10 questions, half of which you didn't think of until you saw the data. This is by no means the best I've ever seen, but it's recent (at the bottom of the page): http://www.apple.com/30-years/your-first-mac/#tell-us It saddens me to think that Macs use to be a tool, they did work; but no longer it seems. Now, I don't have to complain on User Forums that OS X is morphing into iOS, I see why. I know I don't have to buy my kids MacBooksanymore, an iPad will do. It's too late to start now, but I'm sure it would make for an interesting info-graphic, one that continually recorded and then displayed the man hours and Kickstarter £ spent on the various 'areas' that the Runrev team is focusing on as they move LC forward. I'm sure refactor and unicode would display as huge blobs. Little, but growing blobs for the various branches that parallel, then disappear when they are incorporated, or not. I could imagine info-graphics that told me not only how many man hours and £ currently spent, but a % estimate of job complete. Names of those involved as well, as I'm sure it would be a pleasant surprise to see not just the Runrev team in those blobs, but the names of the many gurus (like Trevor) who are at the heart of this LC community. If we all saw the data I'm sure we'd have no questions or complaints; but then again, we wouldn't have the pleasure of reading Kevin's posts. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
