REBOL patches repository here: https://github.com/BrianHawley/rebol-patches

These are intended to implement pending improvements to R3, and eventually 
R2. Just R3 for now though.

To add to the idiocy, there's now a message from the real Carl, stating 
he agrees with the fake one

Win!

Hi, I have added two scripts today on rebol.org. one is how I plan 
using the mysql driver from Nenad, the other one is reproducing the 
php script on http://www.alistapart.com/articles/succeed/to get 
well formed URL/URI 's and get rid of the ?id=99&stuff='idea' kind 
of links. 

It is not yet really finished for I haven't tested/thought about 
how this works with requesting the indexfile in subdirectories. Also 
if there are ideas how to store and reproduce articles from a database 
using one two or more keywords feel free to put them up.

A first pass at accessing the Etsy API: http://reb4.me/r/etsy


Works similarly to my Twitter API script (a few OAuth differences 
here and there). You can download it, or run it in place (do/args 
... [...Settings...]). As with Twitter, you start with etsy/as and 
go through the authorization process.  It has a few example methods, 
and an open method - etsy/api-call - that can call (as far as I can 
tell) every api function. Will try to document at some point.

It's working beautifully!

Normally I do not announce my upload to rebol.org but this time is 
different. I have uploaded an upgraded version of  my interface to 
opengl: http://www.rebol.org/view-script.r?script=opengl-glu-glut-h.r
and I am asking you to insert "GLX_DOUBLEBUFFER" in the block of 
the line: "attrList-def: reduce [GLX_USE_GL GLX_RGBA  GLX_DEPTH_SIZE 
16 GLX_RED_SIZE 4 GLX_GREEN_SIZE 4 GLX_BLUE_SIZE 4 0]"  to see if 
doublebuffer works since in my virtual machine it is not working 
(an empty window is opened and no gl rendering occurs)

Sorry, I mean you should try it on a X11 environment.

sorry that was completely unwanted

Bas published the videos of my Red presentation on Software Freedom 
Day at the Science Park in Amsterdam:

REBOL is also in there, because the Red and Red/System compilers 
are currently written in it

Chris, here's what I made with etsy.r:  http://guitarz.org/lessons/etsy_updater.jpg
  It works great - Danielle is really excited to be able to do batch 
updates :)

Nice Nick.

Rebol will be open source 1st October 2012!!!!

...!!!

Announcing latest INCLUDE changes:

* the complete file now available through rebol.org using the

http://www.rebol.org/view-script.r?script=ladislav-include.r


link. Note, however, that I use the %include.r script name here (should 
not be a problem, though).

* addition of the STANDARD-HEADER variable to INCLUDE-CTX
* script header processing added
* doc update

Doc and I created a bridge between Red and R3:

http://red.esperconsultancy.nl/Red-REBOL-3

It allows to write R3 extensions in Red(/System), and there's some 
support for writing custom R3 hosts in Red

This solves the problem that it has turned out that hardly anyone 
wants to write R3 extensions in C. Extensions written in Red are 
also much easier to manage, because you can cross-compile them, instead 
of having to set up a development environment on each target platform

Currently it only works on Windows, and you need the dyn-lib-emitter 
branch of Red/System

It's not completely tested yet. The do-string call into R3 doesn't 
seem to work. We don't know yet whether this is a bug in Red/System 
or a bug in R3

It requires another repository where I'm splitting off common definitions:

http://red.esperconsultancy.nl/Red-common

I'm also adapting my other Red bindings to use this common base, 
which was previously included in the C library binding

this is so cool

I wonder Carl would entertain the idea of reworking the extension 
mechanism in R3 to allow even lower overhead access to Red/System. 
Or is the overhead about as low as you can expect it given that R3 
is interpreted?

When the source is open, it's possible to do it without Carl ;)

RED FUNDING DRIVE, MATCHING FUNDS CHALLENGE:  to help ensure that 
Doc can continue to work on Red without disruption, I'll match funds 
donated to him by November 1, 2012, up to a total of $1000.

I wrote a tutorial that makes use of Chris Ross-Gill's Etsy.r module: 
 http://re-bol.com/etsy_api_tutorial.htmlThe focus of this one 
is all about helping the Etsy API developer team, but by necessity, 
it teaches all the REBOL basics, along with all the absolute beginner 
concepts.  I'm hoping the Etsy guys will write a blog post about 
it and help drive some more traffic toward REBOL :)

Very nice tutorial Nick.

We just finished to setup a public Cofluence wiki test server, where 
TreeMapper models are rendered in HTML-5. Take a look here:


http://s1.saphirion.com:8001/display/TREEM/Treemapper+Demonstration+on+Conluence


That's a model that's done with the R3 based editor and published 
out of the editor directly into a wiki page. The next demo version 
will include the server information so you can test it on your own.

Correct URL for the TreeMapper demo:


http://s1.saphirion.com:8001/display/TREEM/Treemapper+Demonstration+on+Confluence

I've moved the locations of the Red bindings, dropping the "Red-" 
prefix from #include paths, and normalising the older bindings with 
the latest few that I introduced

The locations of the repositories on the web are unchanged. I need 
the Red- prefixes there to make the repository names unique in the 
Fossil server

So the following Fossil repository:

http://red.esperconsultancy.nl/Red-common

needs to be checked out in the subdirectory "common" for other bindings 
to find it. I use a parent directory Red:

Red/common/

The Red directory may be named differently, but the other bindings 
should also be checked out in it, in subdirectories corresponding 
to their names

The guys at Etsy added Chris's library and my tutorial to their developer 
pages.  https://www.etsy.com/developers/documentation/resources/developer_resources
 I really think there's a marketing opportunity for REBOL, doing 
these sorts of tutorials for other web APIs

REBOL publishing libraries and tutorials like this for other popular 
web APIs.  Get a bunch of big web sites linking to REBOL sites, and 
their developer communities all taking a look at REBOL, and there 
will be curiosity and added traffic.

Published the new R3D library with guide and demo video: http://rebol2.blogspot.it/2012/10/r3d.html
, you'll find the same guide on www.rebol.org

I fixed support for push/pull connections in the ZeroMQ bindings 
for R2, R3 and Red/System:
