World: r3wp

Cheyenne and QuarterMaster combined are 520 KB

The rest is just tens of kilobytes

So there are not likely to be any Server versions with the REBOL 
stuff left out :-)

In contrast, Ruby, which is only there for an Amazon S3 script, and 
which is one of the smallest popular languages, takes 11 MB

Oh, ORCA takes about 450 KB, including the library and the documentation

so, do you have a ruby script that backs up the server data to S3?

Yeah, it's the standard S3Sync tool that's included. Read the Server 
manual for an example of backing up a directory

By the way, I got us on DistroWatch, the main index of Linux distributions:

http://distrowatch.com/syllable

That's great.

Yeah, should get us some attention

Is ORCA still in development?

Yes. It's certainly not finished :-)

Should have read: still being developed.

So how close are you for a full Rebol clone?

I know. :-)

Karl sporadically makes bug fixes. I will start doing that, too, 
and enhancements, when I get to it

I don't think it's ever going to be a full clone, because REBOL keeps 
developing

A server appliance ready yet?

No, I'm out visiting several conferences to promote Syllable Server. 
Giving a talk on Saturday

Porting and configuring Dovecot and RebelBB will take some time, 
anyway

Had ,many downloads?

Around 500 at a rough estimate so far

Much less than for Desktop, but not too shabby for a console server 
without an installer

no installer will put people off!

well, until the vm is released :)

I know. I didn't take it out, though

didn't take out what?

The installer. It just doesn't exist :-)

will you write an orca installer?  Or rebol one?

A new ORCA one, combined with Syllable Desktop

so, no gui then?

Syllable GUI on Desktop, maybe a remote REBOL GUI on Server

A rebol gui thru ssh to the server?

No, REBOL/Services

interesting

do you have time for a day job?

Doing it all properly :-)

Haven't had for years, but will have to make time for it now

Getting good responses on the conferences

Kaj, please make a XEN DomU out of it. I will give it immediatly 
a try. I'm searching for a base distro that can be used to create 
a complete application stack.

Uhm, I'll have to find out how to make that, first :-)

What we have been producing so far are VMware images that can be 
used in several virtualisers, with an unchanged Syllable Server installation

I think a Xen image would require the Syllable Server installation 
to support Xen in the kernel. Is that correct?

It will be extra work to figure this out, so it will take me some 
more time

or Robert can switch to using vmware.

Yeah :-)

How's the dovecot port going?  :)

Not. I'm still on the road

On the first conference we were invited to a 3D virtual worlds conference 
tomorrow in Amsterdam, with the ex CEO of Linden Labs and a university 
developing OpenCroquet speaking :-)
