OK I'm completely confused. I'd like to suggest it's my inability to grasp the English language but I read some of these post over and over and I can't just come to any other conclusion the world has turned upside down.
Way back people were complaining that Revolution was too expensive. The company listened and gave as FREE Community LiveCode. What a hobbyist's dream. Now people are complain that they can't pay for it???? Have no influence??? The Company regularly puts out surveys so that users can have their say. And they clearly listen. You want to pay to have influence???? I thought that is exactly what the Feature Exchange programme was ALL about. Forget democracy, where the previous surveys were being used to drive the direction of LiveCode based on hard numbers within the community needing certain features; lets let money do the talking and bring a few features straight to the top of the list. I donated a little to the OS X 64 Bit but THANK YOU Todd Fabacher for really making that happen. Now that I think about it, the world isn't upside down it's.... perfectly the same. You just can't please everyone and some people just have to complain about something... surprised our List curmudgeon hasn't made an appearance (I hope he's OK): Didn't cater for hobbyists - restructured the pricing policy Still too expensive -> now a free community version The company doesn't listen -> regular surveys Too buggy -> the late great Bill Marriott and his legacy of a better QCC mobile support - we have it Needs to be brought into the future - LC 8 will take us there Needs to happen faster -> Kickstarter did that Needs to happen even faster -> Feature Exchange does that We're kept in the dark -> newsletters, now blog posts The company doesn't listen -> team members EVERY DAY posting to this List LiveCode needs this feature or that feature -> it's open source, go ahead and add it yourself... deathly silence To the team members, as I know you are reading, please understand that the world is OK and your doing a GREAT JOB! _______________________________________________ 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
