Github?

Post by danielrr » Wed Nov 04, 2015 5:03 pm

Dear all,

I am working on a project that I think could be of interest to many colleagues and scholars (it is an Ancient Greek dictionary with a browser of greek parsed forms). It uses two large databases of publicly available data (distributed with a cc share alike, non profit license). I'a planning to make it available to anyone interested (such a nice fellow I am) and I am wondering whether github is the place to do it. If the answer is yes, Is there any examples of LC projects there I can use as inspiration to present the thing? If the answer is not, or "rather not", then What are the alternatives?
best,

Daniel

Any place is ok, also github.
Main problem with livecode source is that is a single binary file containing all: codes, images, sounds, etc.
So it's very difficult to be collaborative as per text sources.
Use GitHub this way: add you livecode source file and enable issues and Wiki. So it's easy to check all requests.
To view the differences between two livecode files there is https://github.com/montegoulding/lcVCS
however is very difficult to install and use.

Yeah, github is a bit of a problem for stack files. I have glx2 hosted on bitbucket, although with the same problem.
For stack files you're probably be best off putting them on revOnline http://revonline2.runrev.com/
