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.

and limited how?
Kaj

Python is not limited
NickD

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.

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

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

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.
Henrik

day. I met him way back when I worked for Commodore.

Carl wants our opinions on how to move forwards ..
Henrik

He was invited to this world a few months ago, and I made a booboo 
in overlooking his requests in the old REBOL3 world. I've invited 
him again.

I wouldn't worry about comments being made on Carl's last blog. He's 
not going to read past the first few. I'd be really surprised if 
he's bother ot scroll down the page.
he'd bother to !!!!

He asked people to keep it short and to the point ...
