Kaj, that was an excellent article on Syllable.  Thanks Alan for 
posting it.

Thanks!

Link to "Buy the premium CD" is broken : http://www.lulu.com/syllable

Yes, unfortunately, Lulu has stopped making CDs, and simply removed 
all CD projects

I'll have to do something about it, but I'm too busy

I have been asked if an IRC channel existed for Syllable somewhere? 
If not, opening one on freenode could be a good idea?

From our site:

irc://irc.freenode.net/#syllable

It's seldomly used, though

Thanks.

I've installed Syllable Desktop 0.6.6. Didn't run my nvidia card 
so I switched to vesa mode. I didn't find my PS/2 Defender mouse, 
and navigation over GUI elements is degraded when only keyboard is 
used (underimplemented)? I can provide any details about my hardware. 
The primary problem at question is a mouse.

It didn't understand my nvidia card, I mean.

It didn't find mouse. Too many typos from my side.

I will also need a pppoe protocol impl. Though I will soon change 
an ISP and will probably have different IP-related protocols.

Does Syllable have pppoe?

I would prefer Syllable over Windows and *nix since Windows and X 
are painfully slow :)

I'm experienced software (and asm) developer, so you can use my skills 
at diagnosing problems at my local installation :)

It's not often that a PS/2 mouse doesn't work. Do you have another 
mouse you can try, maybe a USB mouse?

Keyboard navigation is indeed not fully implemented, so it would 
be hard without a mouse

There's an experimental PPPoE implementation in the miscellaneous 
downloads:

Kaj: I only have one working mouse device. The other mouse I have 
is Sony VAIO Wireless mouse which is connected via VAIO's RF radio 
receiver, I have no such card in my PC.

Sorry, there's not much else to do than trying another mouse, unless 
you would want to debug and fix the problem in Syllable

I'd like to debug. Though now I need to leave---but you can ask questions, 
all levels of debugging are OK.

Or you mean debug that on my own?

Yes, there's not much I can do to debug remotely on your system, 
except giving some advice

You'd have to follow the instructions on our development site to 
set up your Syllable installation for compiling software, then download 
the Syllable source code and start hacking the PS/2 mouse driver

My OS of choice is however BlueBottle (bluebottle.ethz.ch) so I'd 
prefer to devote time to it. So that's a matter of time investments. 
E.g. I would not try hacking sources of Syllable...

That's the only way to debug

OK

Or maybe I will try to hack. I will decide later, now I must leave.

Having a pppoe seems to raise my spirit for Syllable!

:-)

BTW I think I will touch the instructions on a devel site. Is it 
clear how to do all of that, is there a clear link on a main site?

Yes

How to Start Developing

OK. I left. Turning off the screen :)

The Syllable source code is in the section Source Code

Does REBOL/View run on Syllable desktop?

No, only R3/Core

And Boron, ORCA and Red-produced executables

I produced Syllable Server to run R2 (and World)

Topaz could also run on both

Kaj: BTW Congratulations on achieving a fast GUI at the OS! Even 
Oberon/A2 GUI is slower---though A2 uses bigger screen resolution.

I had like 800x600 mode at Syllable vesa.

A2 Aka Native Bluebottle

Fetching all the development stuff and the desktop 0.6.6 source code... 
My MMV.

Was unable to copy kernel log to external filesystem mounted in rw 
mode.
