It has a website and a Wiki and members are continually complaining that this is wrong or that is missing or something needs updating. Well go ahead and fix it, it's a Wiki, you can do it. And then all the excuses come out; the original author hasn't given me permission, I don't want to tread on any ones toe's, I'm not an expert in the field - someone with more knowledge should do it, there should be an approval process, the Committee should oversee amendments, the Wiki will turn into a pile of spaghetti, it will be anarchy, all will be lost, the world will end... Yet the Wiki has been there for over 5 years and no spaghetti, no anarchy, no lost information. Just the few who always volunteer working against the avalanche of complainers. > > Or we could just look at actual observable performance. > But why wreck a good conspiracy theory with fact ;-) _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
