One of which was something called 'Open Language', which, like several other things promised that got people
to stump up money, never materialised:
This sounded interesting:We will introduce a new technology called “Open Language”. With Open Language, the more technical members of our community can create English-like words and phrases to enable everyone to write programs that use any aspect of a computer or device.
- -We will introduce a new visual editor designed around today’s usability standards. The editor will be open. The more technical members of our community can create simplified versions of the editor for tablets or primary schools.
- -When Will it Be Completed?
Within a month of the campaign closing we will launch the Community Edition with the source code. That version will have the source code as it is today. This will provide everyone who has made a pledge access to the platform.
Over the following few months we will be hard at work on the main goal of creating the next generation of the platform. We will restructure the code into modules that plug into a new kernel and deliver this version for testing over the summer. Once that is complete the community will be able to contribute to the source code easily.
When the 'Open Language' offer was questioned in the recent thread relating to the release of a developer preview
of LiveCode 10, LiveCode central replied in this way:

In regards to Open Language... this has no relevance at all to LiveCode 10, is not and has not been a part of its spec and I cannot comment on it any further.
