In SX Microcontrollers, SX/B Compiler and SX-Key Tool, dmyers7 wrote:

I would be interested in heading up such a project but need to gather some more information to see what size the community is for the SX.  I also have to do my homework to understand what functionality is really required by such a program.  I agree that one person needs to be the major driving force in a community.  The key to getting a group to effectively work on a project is to divide the programming up into manageable tasks / function libraries with clear definition.  This requires a lot of prep work / planning (define inputs, outputs, and function), but allows developers to come and go.  The other option is to develop this with a group of friends and sell it for a couple of bucks to cover cost.

One of the things that prevents me from jumping right in feet first is the fact that there are plenty of tools for every other micro out there, so my beloved MAC community is covered with options, and this is not a project for the faint of heart.  If I end up developing something, I may make a compiler that allows you to use TBasic or similar and compiler it for multiple micro platforms.  Again research is required to see what is needed out there / what is already done.  (To gain support by a community, it has to be interesting to them and something they need also).

Will let you know.
