"RunRev" in Wikipedia - no mention of free Community

Post by erikhans08 » Sun Mar 20, 2016 9:42 pm

The "RunRev" listing in Wikipedia is incomplete and out of date.
There is NO mention of the free Community version.
Isn't Wikipedia a great advertising tool?

A review of Livecode in PCWorld has 1 comment... on HyperCard.
With a little organizing I'll bet LiveCode users would be glad to make short comments
on articles about LiveCode to spread the word.

Yes, this sounds like a character from Mad Men.

The (historic) wiki page "RunRev" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RunRev#History) reads close to bottom:
On 11 November 2009 in San Francisco, the company officially launched version 4.0 of the Revolution programming language (renamed LiveCode in November 2010), officially bringing the revTalk language to the web.
The Word "LiveCode" is (I did that just now, you could have done too) linked to the wiki page "LiveCode", where one can read all these pretty things you wish to read:

I've dropped a note to the team - thanks for spotting that. Wikipedia is a publicly-editable resource - if any of you have time for add or update content there before the team gets to it that may be helpful.
