@Giuseppe,: No, wiki software is mediawiki, to have a good support 
 multilanguage you have to install a mediawiki for every language. 
I just adopted http://www.informe.comfree solution ready to use; 
and I haven't many option as superuser. However creating and importing 
pages is easy. If you have already a wiki, export pages in a XML 
file, and I'll import the pages.

Nope. I'll provide binaries later, so you can run it even easier
The text editor is new. I wanted to attempt it for the conference, 
but ran out of time

If I wanted to run Red on my Windows-based computer, what would be 
the process to do it?  Do I download the Red sources from Github 
and compile it on my computer?  If so, are there instructions on 
how to do it with a free compiler?

A free compiler? Red and Red/System are the free compilers

Bo, Rebol2 is used to create the Red/system binaries

You can run Red as an interpreter, although that's still limited, 
from here, in MSDOS/Red/console:
The example programs are also in there, compiled and ready to run. 
For the console-pro, you need the libraries in the RedSystem folder

Instructions are here:

If you want to run the compilers, just follow the official documentation:

Kaj, could you post the code in scripts, or in the #Red group, instead 
of in the Announce group itself?
Nice code though :)

I'll revert to doing that in the future, but it seemed a major milestone 
and people seem to like it, so I made an exception
The links to the scripts are already there

Maybe we need a separate Red Announce channel ...?
Make it easier to find the Red vs Rebol announcements

We orginally assigned "!" to apps written in REBOL.

Perhaps we should consider dedicating a symbol to RED?  May not be 
worth the overhead, depends how strongly people will over to RED 
I guess.
Kaj

[1342x4]
It already has #
! would be wrong, because in time, Red will not be written in REBOL 
anymore
Ah, you mean an extra symbol for Red apps?
There aren't currently any that would need a dedicated group
Andreas

I think Reichart meant a special symbol for Red-related groups, if 
we add more of them.

sorry to say, but

this is just one more of  the "too many sites" as MaxV calls them.

it seems, that too many rebol user think they should do their own 
and can do it better.

this may be, but I think the average Rebol user is just to much individualist 
to join

Well, at leat now you have VID source working on GitHub... :-)

why don't we just follow Saphirion guys? They concentrate very fine 
rebollers, it is just that as a business entity, they implement, 
what they need most. But - everybody can influence it via donations 
imo, so I did, sent few dollars to R3 droid port, and R3 GUI on droid.
in fact, it is even worse - GUI is done for quite some time, yet 
no new styles/skins appear, so nothing to complain here about - anyone 
of us can contribute. I just somehow don't believe, that yet-another-fork 
will make situation any better ....
In regards to above remark, I e.g. don't understand e.g. Nick requesting 
R2 being released, as R3 GUI is superior to R2, we just somehow magically 
don't start using it, dunno why.
What imo R3 misses is some built-in protocols, databases. OTOH Cyphre 
created TLS scheme .....
Well, and if no leadership for some fork comes up - here comes the 
Red ;-)

Rebol 3 Bazaar is Saphirion Rebol 3, at the moment. Saphirion wanted 
to go on GitHub, but htey ahve not time to do it. Now everybody can 
contribute and speed up Rebol 3 devolpment.
Because Rebol 3 stopped a month ago...

well then,  I consider Saphirion's work being a de-facto standard 
nowadays, unless Carl reappears actively reviewing new stuff ...

Be realistic, Rebol could be 1000 times better than Livecode or Java; 
but is wasn't supported. Rebol 3 closed source stopped in 2011, Rebol 
3 open  source stopped a moth ago. If ReBol 3 Bazaar will not take 
off, start to buy the tombstone for Rebol.
