World: r3wp

It would for me, as I can't read it :)

Sorry, being sarcastic.  There's a little gulf between the developers 
of Altme and the users regarding some usability issues.

Maybe the new version of Altme being worked on currrently will address 
these issues

I noticed that there is a status line in the upper left that works 
for these, but I didn't notice it until I was looking at the icons 
in the upper left. When looking at the lower icons, that status line 
was out of me field of vision, so it might as well have not existed.

replace "me" "my"

Yeah .. like the red on your name if someone messages you .. way 
out of your central vision, and therefore notice.  So, an alert that 
is placed outside your notice seems self defeating.

I have found the problem, why I can't login to AltME / Rebol3 world, 
while my firewall is active: The filewall recognizes the response 
as a backdoor for a trojan "bladerunner". Take a look at: http://www.digitaltrust.it/arachnids/IDS110/signatures.html

And Rebol3 is using port 5400.

As soon as I'm logged in, I can active the firewall again without 
any problems. The firewall I use is kerio on Windows.

Rebol-HQ world uses port 5402, there are no problems at all.

Kerio - Czech guys :-)

Yes, and I use Servant Salamander CZ too. Very good stuff.

Servant? I prefer Total Commander - well, I am used to it, that is 
all ...

Take a look at Salamander, much cooler, smoother than TC. Salamander 
is one of the best tools I know.

OK, I will take a look. I looked into it briefly some three or so 
years ago, but it did not feature FTP, so I left it ...

It now has FTP

>>me<< also a Salamander user

and they have SFTP as well

Is AltMe working fine thru proxy servers? Today I tryed to use it 
at work but I couldn't connect.

doesn't work for me thru a proxy server

:-( You answered to all my doubts.

RE: discussion on AltME in Accounts group ...


Hi Reichart: no, small trusted groups aren't bad. Only planning for 
them is - if you are not 100% sure that you will grow.
And yes, Volker and Petr said it all.

that you will NEVER grow

Now that we have MacOSX version of rebol/View when do is it scheduled 
to release an ALTME Client for MAcOSX ?

we do? where? :-)

oh, found it!

where? :-)

http://www.rebol.net/builds/024/plus a big ALPHA qyality warning 
on the files page

ah, yes, rebview beta - nice ...

MAC OSX  REBOL/VIEW : http://www.rebol.net/builds/024/rebview1300124b

ah, strange mimetype - mozilla displays me binary junk, instead of 
offering me download ...

rebview1300124b

this shows we are on hollydays because this primordial information 
have not been displayed to ppl

it's been there for two days. why was this not announced in Announce?

so, guys, not having OX-X here ... could you give it a test drive 
and post onto OS-X group here?

Because Hollydays I guess

Holy-days? :-) OS-X version finally coming? :-)

ok, I've already found a bug :-) User setup doesn't scroll

maybe because Mac's mouse does not have scroll button? :-)

let's move reports to OS-X group ...

Reichart 24-mar:

<<So our next update is coming along, aside from any features we 
are planning to include in the next build of AltME, we are looking 
for a new top 10 list of features or bugs for an interim release.
>>
Any more news on this, please?

not announced... because it's alpha stage. still in development, 
and missing very important features (i.e. face/rate does NOT work 
yet)

anyway, altme requires the sdk, not just view. :)

Thanks.
But that's a little confusing.

The March announcement was not tied to View13 (it explicitly exluded 
the recycle bug for which a new version of View was needed).

It was an announcement, if I read it right, of an interim release 
on the existing SDK.

Yup, we need SDK.  for OSX

As to the next update, we are holding it this time to get a bunch 
of stuff done.  It is more efficient.

I think we may have different definitions of efficient.

To me, using a bit of software as buggy as Altme is not efficient 
- which is why I've never felt able to recommend it as groupware 
(see earlier dicussion).

I've been joining in with the REBOLn worlds because it is useful, 
though painful at times.

The problem, of course, isn't the bugs. It's the rate at which they 
get fixed.

Agreed.

Is anyone running Altme on a Mac under the PC emulator?

bug: on linux I am able to accidently paste into a posted message 
and obbliterate my copy of the message, restarting does noot help 
becausr it is an old message  and is not resynced even though it 
is different than it is elsewhere

to Reichart: have a look at the RAMBO group and see my findings about 
the GC crash, I think, that the workaround there can be applied to 
AltME too
