It's no longer just my baby
By Dave Winer on Monday, June 28, 2010 at 8:27 PM.

A picture named fresca.gifScripting2 took a big step today -- it got its second user.  #

And tomorrow it gets a third. #

I'm starting with people who are regulars at the Thursday evening group at NYU. Rather than boot up through a mail list, I want to try booting up with people I see regularly face to face. Last time I did that was with employees of Living Videotext, and the product was MORE. It was both a long time ago, and a spectacularly successful product. Part of the reason it was so successful was the excellent communication with early users, with people who really cared about the product.  #

Scripting2 is a remote descendant of MORE. Both are outliners. Both are publishing tools. But Scripting2 is a networking tool and built inside its own programming language and database, with a deep runtime environment. MORE was a Mac app in the early days of Mac apps (the 80s). #

Anyway, some of the next steps: #

1. Get the Bookmarks menu working with Scripting2 stories. (Also write a post explaining how to activate the Bookmarks menu.) #

2. Fix a bug with the Blogroll button. The buttons on the windows don't appear the first time you click. #

3. Establish an updates process with the first users. #

4. Crib the link bookmarklet from LifeLiner. #

5. Window types so Cmd-S work properly. #

6. Proper changes page. #

7. Set up the AWS AMI. #
