World: r3wp

Since there are currently no binary releases for Orca, compiling 
it is somewhat difficult, and I do it regularly anyway for Syllable 
and Linux, I decided to provide one. Orca is included in Syllable, 
and a binary package for Linux is now here:

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/syllable/Orca-0.0.24-1.Linux.i486.zip?download

If you want to spread this link, on the REBOL mailing list for example, 
please do

Or better, use

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=55553&package_id=196714

to include future versions

This package was compiled on Ubuntu Dapper Drake, but it should probably 
work on all modern Linux distributions

Does it run on Win32 as well?

Well, not my package, unless you install a Linux emulator

Orca's chatroom http://orca.campfirenow.com/02351
   (Please refrain 
from spam).

3 user limit!

Is it really ?

There are four people logged on at the moment...

4 user limit then!

We can't let you in right now


The limit of people who can chat in this account has been reached. 
As people come and go slots may open up.

You can try again at any time.

I'll mention it to Karl.

May have to wait for Jaime to get back for the answer to that one, 
he manages the chatroom.

We're about to leave the chatroom, so you could log in then and see 
what we talked about.

Ok, I've left, so that should free a spot.

I suspect they're using the free version of campfire

Graham, You are correct. So far I am only interested on having developers 
in that room.

Public room reopen. http://orca.campfirenow.com/7e4bf

How to get in as guest?

The click above should just work.

I still have to give a name and password

Just a nickname

It doesn't work without cookies, and gives no indication. Worse, 
it asks email and password

I see no messages

Did you use the link above? I just tested in a pristine browser and 
it only asked me for a nickname.

Only if you have cookies enabled

Guest access doesn't give you allow you to see the transcripts or 
any history.

The page looks rather incomplete

Better register as a full user.

Probably tomorrow

Maybe we could use Google Groups beta ?
http://groups.google.com/intl/en/googlegroups/about.html


create, join and search email-based mailing lists, and designate 
your group as either public or restricted.

Postings to both Usenet and mailing lists appear in 10 seconds and 
are indexed within 10 minutes.

I haven't tried Google Groups at all yet myself, but what do you 
think ?

We wanted a more interactive channel. I have a public IRC channel 
on freenode setup too.

The only missing thing for IRC channel is logs.

Are you able perhaps to provide a machine for use as a server ? We 
could install something ourselves.

What you have in mind?

Perhaps we can find some open source chat software somewhere.

it would be nice if AltME could carry a gateway to an HTML chat for 
a single group

Or we could set up an altme world for free.

It's probably just as much burden to install altme as it is to log 
in to a website.

We could write the code to reflect the altme chat to a website if 
necessary. It's accepting chat from the web as well which starts 
to make it a bit of a larger task.

it would be prettier if the AltME server could serve the site itself.

But I don't think we need a web gateway do we ?

how does rebol.net get its chat lists? is it a separate script that 
digs through the archives stored on one machine?

Mmm, it's available for Win32, MacOSX and Debian Linux, OpenBSD on 
the way.

I think so. I think Reichart set up a custom script just for Rebol3 
world, and hasn't generalised it into a release version of AltME 
yet.
