World: r4wp

Red Compiler: Nice work Arnold. Quick feedback: Need error handing 
(compiler not found etc.), config file to remember previous settings.

Endo, preferences should be preferences not just last time settings 
imho those could be some quick test experiments. But preferences, 
indeed preferences is what I missed while testing this bugger. Prefs 
filename something like app-name.preferences.ini? When prefenced 
start dir is set via preferences probably the rsc.r script will always 
be found? But testing for existance is more robust, so I agree definitely. 
Maybe in time there will be a completely different way to compile 
Red or other changes needed to keep this script actual and useable, 
so I invite everyone interested to feel free to add and sculpt this 
script!

The main issue I have with this script is this. My script did not 
compile. I used 'now in my script to time a kind of loop foreach 
versus forall and this failed. The control was not passed back to 
my script, I just compiled hello.reds script and this was successful 
and my script got the focus again. So that is nice but with unsuccessfull 
build it woul be nice to gather results and maybe restart compiling 
with different setting (for verbose for example). I have no idea 
how to do this.

Doc - that's perfect? Where did you dig the code from? :-) Something 
old, or new creation related to your R2 latest project/contract? 
:-)

4 years old code that I wrote for a customer app. I've already published 
it in REBOL3 world (there was a dedicated group), but I guess that 
Github is the right place, so others can improve it.

I wonder how many megabytes of source code it would take to write 
the same in Java? ;-)

I must say that I had a lot of fun coding that scheme, especially 
learning CUPS and coding some Postscript custom routines.

Hi Doc, it is a great piece of code! Thanks a lot.
in readme file it says:

http://raw.github.com/dockimbel/printer-driver/master/printer-scheme.r

but it doesn't work. I think it should be https instead of http, 
then it works:

https://raw.github.com/dockimbel/printer-driver/master/printer-scheme.r

Thanks Endo, I'm fixing that right now.

Jerry, looking forward to helping out.

Thanks. James. I hope opening the book can help Carl make the decsion 
to open source R3 .. even though the effort I put in the book is 
not compartable to Carl's effort in R3.

Hi Jerry, maybe a combined edition in Chinese and English would help 
more Chinese rebolers to join in the Rebol community. (Make them 
more comfortable using english.)

I'm here to help you Jerry

Jerry, looks like a smart move. My Chinese is a bit rusty to say 
the least.

Thanks for willing to help me on the translation.

I don't know Chinese at all, but can help with final English wording.

Every pages is carefully drawed and layouted. To make the English 
Edition of it, I have to re-layout every page. Since English Sentence 
is shorter than it's Chinese one in most of the cases, I will need 
to re-layout everypage. the aspect should be change from 4:3 to 16:9 
or 16:10. This will take some time for me to prepare.

Carl got my book last Friday, maybe that's why he decided to think 
about the future of REBOL and wrote that blog article. I hope our 
opening the R3 book and trying to gain more new users will make him 
make the second move, opening R3.

Even though I've prepared in my heart for the worst situation.

I am kind of shy and not talkative. But recently I've talked a lot 
here, because I really don't want to see the death of REBOL.

I am not native English speaking but I can help out a little for 
a first rough read-through and correction round.

Jerry, I would like to help with the English editing. Please let 
me know the next step.

Jerry - I will be happy to help, let me know how.

So how is the rebol source code working for you guys? \

What source code?

Carl released it last week

a limited version like Python

where?

and limited how?

Python is not limited

I dont know the exact limitations. Just relaying the information 
from the board of directors

Maybe they said some other name of code then. Thought it was Python. 
Is it not on the website anywhere?

All we got, a day ago, is a blog article saying that Carl doesn't 
know what to do, and we should tell him

I've looked around again and there doesn't seem to be any sign of 
any new release of any kind from Carl.

Nope

Ill ask. The word phython was used, so perhaps there are no restrictions 
then.

Python is a full open source project from the start

In case you haven't found it:

http://www.rebol.com/article/0510.html

Posing this question to them now. Will get back to you.

Thanks

Just read it. Typical. Should have been done many moons ago

Yes

James_nak, Arnold, MaxV, Gregg, ddharing, PeterWood, and Nick, Thanks 
for willing to help me.

What source code? The compiled version offered is doing rather fine 
:/

Jerry, can you do Kindle or ePub format?  That will make it a lot 
more accessibe to people who read these days

Everyone has a phone with them these days

Jerry, I'm curious to what tools you used to write the book? LaTeX? 
Word? Makedoc?

Henrik, It's PowerPoint. I make a slide with 320 pages. I asked myself 
not to use bullet-point to make it not a traditional slide.

I also ask myself to make it readable slide.
