Geez, Marielle, why must you always jump to attack and confrontation when a subject like this comes up? As a careful reading of my post will reveal, I did not propose a fully specified solution. I indicated, rather, that I am in the beginning stages of exploring this possibility. I have no clue at t...

Andre, The part of this that I'm most interested in helping to develop is a drag-and-drop application that would allow the creation of the user interface portion of an AJAX app. I'm working now on examining the two or three most popular JS libraries to either pick one or define a common subset of fu...

I think making Rev something like Flash etc is a mistake, it's already out there (Flash for ex.) hehe If I want to do WEB stuff, I use RAD's like Frontpage and JS, PHP etc, they were made for this and I don't think REV should be sidetracking into competing with a gazillion WEB tools out there... De...

I don't know what the perfect number of forums is - the current set seems to me too many. That's the trick. It's different for everyone, for different subjects, for different levels of expertise and a bunch of other factors. There's no right or perfect answer. I find the divisions here a bit too co...

I hear you. Figuring out where to put a topic is hard. Having fewer topics makes that somewhat easier but at the expense of being able then to find posts on a given topic. Let's say, e.g., that you had come to the site and it didn't have a separate topic for rich media, but only for Windows and OS X...

I've never tried using the JavaScript OSA in Rev, but I've used it from Python and Terminal with success and not a lot of hassle. It's been a while but my sense is it works fine.

Does this database and XML stuff work on Linux servers? I'd think that would be a bigger issue since not many people are running Windows servers and even fewer are running Mac servers.

I deliberately didn't supply a link to Shao Sean's site because of that front-page diatribe and because she has clearly indicated that she will no longer support any of the Rev products. (I'm not even sure she's a she. Sorry if I'm wrong.) The email libraries are now in the public domain if I read t...

If I move to Media and start entering data in my stacks, will the stacks still work right in Dreamcard 2.7?

I don't even know there will be a DC 2.7, will there? I thought Rev had indicated that Media replaces DC?

In the user mailing list, attachments are not allowed. That has occasionally made it harder for someone to get help. But in an email list, I think that's an appropriate decision. In the forums, I think we should be allowed to attach files to posts. Some upward limit on size is a good idea but Rev st...

PDFs are JavaScriptable and using JavacScript, you can definitely supply information for fields on a form completion PDF application. As far as I know, nobody has yet tackled this issue in Rev. Interesting project, though. I don't know if Adobe publishes the API for forms completion but dissecting t...

To send email from a Rev app, you have two choices. You can use the revMail command (see the documentation) which will launch the user's mail application and enable him or her simply to click "Send" on an email generated by that command. You can use libEMail and write Rev scripts to build and send t...

I just recently discovered that Dreamhost.com, a popular hosting service for Rev developers, will allow you to put Rev CGIs right in your domain. No need for special cgi-bin anythings. Very cool. Just: 1. Grab the Linux CGI engine called revolution.x86 from the usual place (you need, I think, an Ent...

I've spent the better part of my career designing, building, hosting and evaluating online communities. And while I understand how the innitial impression of a forum laid out like this one might feel overwhelming, the fact is that in the long run and based on that experience, a larger number of bett...
