World: r4wp

Lost text = I send a 60Mb avi as an attachment which went through

Graham, I'm really not sure it's good idea to show these commands 
on web-public forum. Why don't you use your email in such a cases?

Regarding binary not a string - string is unicode which may differ 
per platforms.

Oldes, I believe emails are scrubbed by the script that uploads these 
feeds to the rebol.org site

And [carl-:-rebol-:-com] is not Carl's email address any longer. :-)

? He owns the domain rebol.com doesn't he? So he gets all emailaddresses 
with that domain. Unless he assigns someone else one of those emailaddresses 
it is his. So he might not be using it anymore or somebody else is 
using it now?

All emails to [carl-:-rebol-:-com] get redirected to null. :-)

Sometimes those seem like the same thing yes indeed :-)

I know what Carl uses as his email and yes, I knew it wasn't what 
I wrote above.  Last time I looked he had an s at the end of this 
name.

correct

Now he'll have to change it again, as this is web public. ;-)

Nah, this is to prevent harvesting of email by bots

that is one of my objection in making all these groups web-public.

If they weren't web public, we wouldn't be here

email addresses in posts are munged on the rebol.org archive .....so 
they should be safe from bots.

Is there a document anywhere that outlines the differences between 
R2 and R3 for those porting/writing apps now?  I'm thinking that 
those of us still using R2 should try and stick to something that 
will be compatible with R3.

The email of Carl is  [open-:-rebol-:-com]

This is a public group, MaxV! I assume that your action will force 
Carl to change his address and not give it to you...

Hey! Carl published the email on his blog!

Were you serious?

I do not know, but Carl was quite shy of publishing is mail address

Well, it isn't a personal email, is the email of the opensource rebol 
that he published, so he can ignore that email adress as he wish...

Which is what we ceratainly do not want. Please use some reason before 
publishing that may be perceived as private especially if it is not 
your private data.

Regardless if email addresses are munged in the rebol.org archives, 
don't post real email addresses in a web-public group unless you 
are attempting to test spam filters.

I agree with everyone, but the given address by MaxV is a *very* 
public mail address, so its not that big a deal IMHO.

Just good policy :)

As a matter of practice I generally share contact information for 
other people ONLY through individual private channels and NEVER on 
email.  Just a thought.

Has anyone had any contact with Steven Solie about the Amiga R3 build? 
 I see from his site http://solie.ca/that in 2010/11/23 he had R3-GUI 
up and running.

AFAIK, that's the only other platform where view was ported to so 
far

This looks like a question best suited for BrianH:


http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14420942/how-are-words-bound-within-a-rebol-module

Answered. Someone might want to adapt that answer for use in the 
docs.

Since he didn't ask about exporting and the 'private option, I didn't 
mention such issues.

I guess that since I never had a stack overflow account before, my 
previous answers don't count towards my stats.

I believe you can email the stackoverflow admins, Brian, and they 
can transfer stats to your new account.

I have no idea whether my old answers has associated email addresses. 
I suppose it doesn't matter.

What old answers if you don't have a SO account before?

For completeness I've asked the question about exporting and private

SO didn't previously require you to create an account or even provide 
an email address to answer questions. Since I didn't care about SO, 
I didn't bother to make an account. Now they require an email address, 
and use that email address to determine who you are. Creating an 
account is almost an extra, just a way to give you a nickname and 
profile info.

You need a reputation of at least 20 to use the SO chat system ... 
and with ticks, you're already there.

with 2 ticks

BTW, we are encouraging the use of SO as a help resource for those 
who won't or can't use Altme

Yeah, I found that annoying, but I suppose it makes sense.

Do you want me to edit my answer to include the exporting stuff? 
I can't really do it in a comment since it would be in the same scale 
as the original answer.

Edit the answer would be better

Or ask a separate question.

Also, SO has an API so we can potentially grab all the Rebol tagged 
questions and also host them on rebol.org if we need to.  It's not 
stuck in the SO system

Too late, Andreas, I'm already editing the answer. It makes it easier 
to keep context this way.

Done.

Thanks Brian, good answer!

So, should schemes be isolated?
