    Needs:   "A version of REBOL/VIEW supporting sound"

    Purpose: {To make possible simple, easy to make narrated slide shows.

              Hopefully can be used with the REBOL plugin to show narriated slides
              on a web site.

              Hopefully can an effective tool to teach REBOL programming.

    Note: {
        The concept and design originated with Louis A. Turk.

        DideC helped considerably by answering programming questions and 
        giving bits of code;
        it would not have been possible without his help.
	Josh also answered programming questions.


        You can make wav files using the free program Audacity. http://audacity.sourceforge.net


        Advanced JEPG Compressor does and excellent job compressing graphics 
        files so they load 
        faster, but is not free.

There is one problem with slideshow.r and that is that the slide 
is not centered correctly in the window. Does anyone know how to 
fix that?

This is a center-face problem. It assumes you are talking about two 
window faces. You can closely mimic the center-face behaviour though.
Replace the line
	center-face/with lay win
by
	lay/offset: max 0x0 win/size - lay/size / 2

Thanks, Anton. That solved the problem.

Apollo 1.4.1 released: http://home.tiscali.dk/john.niclasen/apollo.zip

Fixed a problem with the buttons for missions with a lot of pictures. 
Unpack the zip and start apollo.r. The indexes for Apollo 7-17 missions 
doing the years 1968-1972 will be created. The script loadthumbs.r 
can be used to download all thumbnail pictures, so the apollo.r script 
will run faster. Run loadthumbs.r after the indexes have been created 
by apollo.r. (Thumbs are around 30MB!)


The pictures are a collection of the pictures released on the website: 
http://www.apolloarchive.com/

Apollo 1.4.2 released:http://home.tiscali.dk/john.niclasen/apollo.zip
Fixed a bug in the "Update Index" function.

I've just uploaded TextureLab version 0.3.2 to REBOL.ORG . http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/view-script.r?script=texture-lab.r

There is finally a script to demonstrate some of GLayout's current 
capabilities.

the demo script will download and save slim and glayout on its own 
(asking first), hands free, no obscure installation needed.

Nice work Maxim, love your button styles, the menu's.  Very nice 
looking and nice feel.

Sorry, should have been in Ann-Reply

Nice work on Glayout Maxim, love your button styles, the menu's et 
el.  Very nice looking and nice feel.

LIQUID - DATAFLOW core engine   -  just released on REBOL.org !!!

   It is still alpha (needs more active use), but theoretically production 
   capable.


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

STEEL web site - tools for REBOL is now moved and completely refreshed.


currently has up to date information on liquid, slim  and reTools. 
 Will be uploading some GLayout docs next week.

here is the link:   http://www.pointillistic.com/open-REBOL/moa/steel/

The REBOL Week is still alive and kickin  :-)


The REBOL Week has been tracking and compiling most of what you've 
been doing since it started almost SIX months ago already!  and it 
seems We've begun to have a measure of notoriety  (check this week's 
edition;-)


For the new guys around here, (and those who forgot about it ;-) 
 here is the link, to this great compilation of most of what is happening 
in the REBOL community:

http://rebolweek.blogspot.com/

How do you get all that data on screen into a file? Well, now you 
can do this:

save %data get-form my-window


And you can put it back just as easily. Cool eh? Thank Cesar Chavez 
too, he did most the coding.

http://www.practicalproductivity.com/files/form-tools.html
http://www.practicalproductivity.com/files/form-tools.r

btw: it only looks at 'input flagged controls such as field, check-line, 
drop-down, area, etc.

oops, try : http://www.practicalproductivity.com/form-tools.html

Thanks Ryan. That's a real time-saver.

Bubble-doc  (beta)
http://anton.wildit.net.au/rebol/doc/bubble-doc.r

form-tools 0.9.2 - I added input flagged versions of all the traditionally 
non input styles like text (input-text), label (input-label), info 
(input-info), etc. This allows get-form/put-form to access such faces. 
Visit http://practicalproductivity.com/files/form-tools.htmlfor 
more info.

Anton, how very cool. More shapes to come?

Ryan, I really needed something like form-tools a few months ago. 
Thanks for your good work.

GLayout v0.5.4 released (on rebol.org, as usual)
---------------------------------------

-SWITCH-PAD: tab-pane like style... supply all tabs directly within 
the main layout, if you want i.e. no need to separate  each tab's 
layout.

-field style: new visuals, faster, more obvious, supports rounded 
corners, fixed sizing.
-menu-bug vs popups bug fixed
-hshrink now fully implemented for text and buttons.
-buttons now supports mouse-relative popup menus

-center group style, allows to center static-sized objects or adds 
margins support for stretchy content

GLayout demo 0.9.1 Released:
------------------

-auto-updates latest version of GLayout (as per slim requirement).

-new layout using switchpad (btw, switchpad automatically adds a 
right-click popup to select panes)
-takes advantage of new GLayout features.

-improved input field filter example, now properly reacts to caret 
offset (cursor)
-better button and field options examples
-adds center style examples.

REBOL version 2.7.1 is released ---->  http://www.rebol.net/cgi-bin/upnews.r

REBOL version 2.7.2 is released ----> http://www.rebol.net/upnews/0008.html

USe writely as rebol-editor. somewhat clumsy, but works :) http://docs.google.com/View?docid=dg424hdn_4hdnh7z

NicomDoc 2.1.0: http://home.tiscali.dk/john.niclasen/nicomdoc/

Added an alternate way to construct tables. Instead of the need for 
=row and =cell commands, a table can just be lines (each line is 
a row) and on each line, cells are separated by one or more tabs. 
Docs with lots of tables will shrink considerable in number of lines 
needed. The Math specification (http://www.fys.ku.dk/~niclasen/nicomdoc/math.txt) 
went from 3000 to just below 700 lines this way.

reGraph 0.1.4 : 

I just released a new application called reGraph. its still a prototype, 
but its also a first view of an applied use of liquid.  the whole 
canvas object is generated through a network of liquid nodes which 
process the canvas in real time, as you drag the mouse.

http://www.pointillistic.com/open-REBOL/moa/steel/retools/regraph/index.html

You can basically edit each AGG canvas graphic element directly from 
the canvas using the mouse, this includes dragging, reordering and 
a pop up menu which is stroke contextual  :-)  have fun

I thought I'd put a direct link to start the app (works in view 1.3.2 
& 2.7.x) :


do read http://www.pointillistic.com/open-REBOL/moa/steel/retools/download/regraph.r

nice demo

Yes, really great

Nice work Maxim

Maxim, it looks like things are really coming together for you. Very 
nice.

I've uploaded version 0.0.9 of TOOLBAR. You can read about it at 
http://hmkdesign.dk/rebol/in the two latest blog posts, where I 
also highlight a bug in REBOL/View that causes a crash because of 
TOOLBAR.

!Liquid release v0.6.4
--------------------------------------------------------------
- cleared a few bacteria (microbugs ;-)
- better support for linked containers
- fixed orphaned  links (named yet non-linked inputs).
- start of commit concept (just the func layout)
- started !plug core reference docs

The REBOL week published,  http://rebolweek.blogspot.com


for those who forget that the REBOL community has its own newsfeed.... 
feel free to ask for any article you wish to publish on the rebolweek 
group here.  If it relates to REBOL, we'll be happy to help and raise 
awareness!

liquidator, teaser  here is a quick snapshot of the culmination of 
years of work, finally coming together.


using the same (evolving and improving) core engine as the regraph 
tech demo, I am now attacking the IDE for dataflow application development. 
 FINALLY.  Also note that this is built over liquid which is a full 
featured, lazy computing, dynamically reconfigurable dataflow engine. 
 also note that all internals of the nodes (processing and gui views) 
are built using liquid itself, so it will be possible to apply your 
own connections within the internals of the application itself ! 

Expect first working demos within a few weeks.


First picture out of the lab:  this is basically a generic "Add" 
node being instanced 4 times, note that each plug can stick out at 
any angle and that the node type label is already neatly aligned 
in the center of the node's core at the center.


http://www.pointillistic.com/open-REBOL/moa/steel/images/news/liquidator.jpg
 all lines and plugs stay connected whatever you drag around (plug 
or node)

A working script (send-gmail.r) that sends secure mail to gmail using 
gmail's smtp server, and a nearly working prot-esmtps (esmtps ) that 
you can use to send mail using a modified send version.

Although the esmtps protocol gives an error, the mail is still sent.

REMARK HAS NOW FINALLY BEEN RELEASED ON THE STEEL WEB SITE


REMARK is a robust web site building tool which allows you to construct 
your own custom tags using rebol values and dialecting.

The main difference of remark with other tools of its kind, is that 
the web pages do not contain code, they contain data or parameters 
to your custom tags.  Remark also persistently reparses tags until 
no more custom tags exist in the dialected tags you create. this 
means you can actually build up your pages with custom which use 
custom tags themselves... talk about leverage! 


at version 1.3.5 it support multiple site configs, ftp dumping, site 
specific configuration, and the very flexible remark engine itself. 


Creating tags is trivial and for simple templating, you don't even 
need to know how to code in rebol... just html content within stored 
files can be nested within your site's pages and will be included, 
by simply adding a tag which is called like the stored html.


Using differently named source file extensions you can even decide 
to parse the content differently, so that you can create different 
page templates or one can even decide to create a make-doc handler 
for example (its not included by default, just possible if you need 
it).


you can check-out the FULL documentation, including tutorial, example 
site, reference page and guides on adding new tags and templates.
