World: r3wp

on Mandriva right now so will test when i reboot to Windows

You should just be able to mount disks. We mount partitions and USB 
sticks to get at stuff. Syllable supports FAT and can read NTFS and 
Linux ext2 and ext3

Have you tried right-clicking in the background of the Disks folder?

Of course, VMWare is not the ideal environment for testing Syllable 
multimedia

The live CD is now available - that would also be a better environment 
for your testing:

Is there a reason for the syllable group not to be [web-public]?
If it were [web-public], then non-Altme users could read it here:

http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/aga-groups-index.r?world=r3wp

And you (or anyone) could refer to a previous post via a persistent 
URL.

At the time when I made this group, I didn't want to impose too much 
on the REBOL community here. Do other people think it's a good idea?

Hey, that's not Carl's script anymore. I didn't know the groups were 
fully archived now :-)

Is there a way to link to a group so that you always go to the latest 
post?

I don't think it's an imposition! It'd be a service.
It's my script

Latest post......

The format of the URL is: .....posts=worldnameNNNxMMM  NNN=group-id, 
MMM=post-id. 
Use MMM=0 to mean latest *page* of posts for that group, eg:

http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/aga-display-posts.r?post=r3wp152x0

Or, from the index page, click the date column [far right] for a 
group -- that takes you to the end too.

That would be cool. Thanks!

I added the web-public key. How long does it take to turn up on the 
site?

Thanks  -- it'll be a couple of hours -- some automated jobs will 
spot the title change and schedule an upload.

Thanks! I'll propose a link from our own front page

Some posts are there already!

Great!

I see it among the groups now :-)

Glad to hear it. Looks like the whole thing is there now.

The link is on our front page now:

Might catch some traffic from our release announcement

yes and it's working Thanks !

Nice, Kaj!

The translated live CDs we have been working on are now available. 
We have another article on OSNews with this and some other goodies:

Videos of Syllable 0.6.4 and Syllable Server, for those who are interested:

Kaj, I downloaded the latest version as VMWare and used it on the 
Mac. Very cool :-))

This thing must really be a time killer... a nice one of course.

Thanks. It sure is. On the other hand, around the time we started, 
five years ago, I and others spent so much time fixing Linux that 
we independently sort of decided that it wouldn't really take more 
time to spend it on developing  our own operating system. It certainly 
leaves us with a lot more to show for all that time

Well, both Linux and Windows, really. The Windows situation is still 
roughly the same. Linux has improved a lot over that time, but only 
to reach about the same levels as Windows

Amiga software runs on Syllable now :-)

well, it could have been a guru meditation

Hm...

Soory, forgot to upload the JPG version I made. It's there now

S3 storage?

Yup :-)

I might also mention that, a few days ago, I also ran AROS on Syllable 
Server. On Bochs, similar to how I did on Syllable Desktop a few 
weeks ago

Kaj, it seems to me, that even osnews.com audience is slowly warming 
up to the Syllable, don't you think? :-) At least response is vital 
....

Yeah. We had to make an awful lot of effort for our PR campaign of 
the last months, though, to make it happen

what do you mean by effort?

As for me, I tried to contact Tom Halwerda one year ago, when RT 
announced they are developing R3. He refused to publish it. I then 
objected, that they are posting much less important newsbits from 
various other communities, but he said that mainstream systems as 
Win, OS-X have some priviledge ...

News events every other day and articles to go with them on OSNews 
don't get created by the fairies overnight

Unless I'm a fairy, that is...

I hope this time, once R3 beta is out, they will not hesitate to 
post about it. And I also think, that Syllable helped REBOL on osnews 
a bit. Because if OS designers decided to use such language, it ought 
to be rather good :-)

I suspect Thom's objection was mainly that you wanted him to publish 
it a year before there was any new product :-)
