World: r3wp

Simetrics: Great piece of work, Francois, and nicely documented too.

As you know, REBOL.org has been using it internally to offer alternatives 
for mistyped script names, eg:

http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/view-script.r?script=binladen

Joe <why not a forum here on altme ?> Forums have the advantage of 
immediacy, but they are hard to keep track of or to find again after 
a few months [Can anyone *easily* retreive info from the defunct 
REBOL and REBOL2 worlds?]

The REBOL.org script discussion feature is a little-used but useful 
way of holding a highly focussed discussion (about one script) that 
will be easy to find again in the future.

It's worth experimenting with both [Altme groups and REBOL.org discussioon] 
to find the natural home for specific discussions.

Sunanda, i agree with you about the discussion forum on rebol org 
and it should be more used.

Sunanda: I can convert those older worlds to html if you would like 
?

Alan, nice idea -- it would make the content more widely available 
again.

But there may be a problem....Those worlds were set up as private, 
and there was nothing in the joining conditions that said the content 
would be made available more widely.

With this world, we have the convention of marking groups as [web-public] 
or not, but the older worlds have no such convention.

So it would be very difficult to contact the original posters and 
get all their agreement.

Could that be a script everyone can run locally?

Volker:if you mean the script to run locally-yes-I was wriiten by 
Didier and should be in the library.I guess an option would be for 
me to convert the groups to html-send to rebol.org-and then have 
the posters what they want.Only problem with that is some are no 
longer here.Just looked in the library and did not find his script.If 
you want,send me a private message and will send

posters delete

Clearly Carl doesn't subscribe to the AltME secure messaging theory:

 (I do not put his email address here to avoid spam harvesting).

;-)

It's because the group could be web-public.

I overlooked that aspect., the group is web-public. As you infer, 
a group can easily be made web public at any time so it's better 
not to trust AltMe's privacy except within private conversations.

It would be good if the web-publishing script "munged" email addresses 
though.

wow sounds like RT is making a lot of progress lately.

Gabriele, can we get tray enabled for the rebol.dll ?

make it a wish in RAMBO

done.

Support for large applications .. I like that ..name spaces.

But have to rewrite existing applications?  Rewriting RebGUI ?

Is the prediction of an alpha release by April based upon current 
progress?  Or, is it more like previous predictions?

it is based on current progress, however the initial alpha might 
lack many things.

e.g. i guess we won't have the vid replacement for the april alpha...

One question .. currently if encapped applications hang, they drop 
to an unattractive console.  Can they be changed so that they quit 
altogether?

and perhaps just create a log event.

not hang, crash.

or allow hooking into an event so you can create a nice customized 
feedback requester thingy?

Perhaps some user defined way to handle crashes.

snap!

depending on the kind of crash, user defined handler may not be possible

however... search for this in rambo, and if not already there please 
add it. :)

I hate having people on the phone going  "I used your app and suddenly 
a white window with a lot of text in it popped up..."

I want a clean exit ...

no locks left ...

some times you want a gui to  appear, but for server applications, 
you just want it to restart.

well, the lot of text case is usually an error, which you can trap 
with try. crashes usually produce just a short message. maybe an 
alert would be preferable...

option for no alerts, just write to a log

if you app is running as a windows service .. don't want to see any 
alerts

I can imagine with a complete rewrite of rebol there are going to 
be more unstable applications being written!

Rambo'd it.

Resident Storage Method: Could this be compared to MacOSX Core Data?

To the tune of "Battle Hymn of the Republic".. 

So, it has come time for us to shift into high gear. It's time to 
unite our community, power up the REBOL 3.0 laser, and burn a hole 
in those weaker approaches. It's time to lead the way. The REBOL 
way. Vive la REBOLution!

Please add the following to the FAQ.

- Rebol 3 will cost $N.
- Rebol 3 SDK will cost $N.
- Existing Rebol licenses will/will not be recognized.
- Rebol 3 will/will not be OS.

- Rebol 3 will include SDK distribution restrictions such as N, N, 
N and N.

The first thing that needs an overhaul is the license.

GREAT!

Having read about REBOL 3, here is my first request: I would like 
to have console-mode versions of /Core, /Pro and /Command for Windows, 
preferably compiled as relocatable. Although this would help with 
a few projects, the main reason I would like this is to make REBOL 
more compatible with Windows alternatives like SanOS and HX, for 
a single-floppy bootable REBOL server that can run in 16 MB ram or 
less. This may sound silly but I've wanted to do this for a while.

Rambo any requests

Done.

Congrats to Jaime and his enlarging family :-)

Congratulations, Jaime!

Thanks. I will be in and out of here, as you could guess my hand 
have gotten busier ;-)

Concracts too. :-)

Congratulations, Jaime! :-)
