but I'm not sure how well posting links to this forum would go over in Scotland.
I am Scots (although I have lived in Bulgaria for yonks) and:
1. Aim to retire there inwith the next 5 years.
2. Favour Scots independence . . . this is where this gets relevant to the current situation . . .
Many very stupid Scotsman seem to think that the way to push and define Scots independence is by making foul remarks
about the English, and all that that realy seems to do is make the English increasingly anti-Scots and more dtermined to block
attempts at Scots independence.
As I, like a large number of Scots people, have English relatives, friends and workmates,
if I thought the ONLY way Scotland would get its independence would be by being grossly anti-English
I would be first in line to vote AGAINST Scots independence.
No we could be like those stupid Scotsmen and define OpenXtalk (or whatever name is settled on) as:
1. Everything LiveCode isn't.
and
2. By being foul about LiveCode.
This would be juvenile and almost totally unhelpful and unhealthy.
I, for one, have no desire to see LiveCode "go under", and one would hope that we can set up a healthy 'shadow' which can learn from
LiveCode, and similarly, LiveCode can learn from us.
As LiveCode have just been extremely generous and lobbed me a perpetual educational licence for 20 seats for nix it would be
churlish in the extreme to voice foulnesses: this does not mean that I will not be critical of LiveCode, but, I hope, in the spirit
of positive criticism than mad elephants in central Edinburgh.
I assume by "Scotland" you mean LiveCode-the-company. I do hope that members of this forum, members of the LiveCode forum,
and more will see the benefits of "cross-pollination" and even code-sharing. Being churlish from either end will do no-one any good at all.
