Shadwolf, thanks for your information, which I added to my FreeEditors 
page:
http://www.lexicon.net/antonr/FreeEditors.html

I hope you don't mind me republishing slightly modified. But I gave 
you credit, of course.

It's not only 'e' that does not work, I can't type 'v' too. :/
Nevermind, I made changes to original global.properties and now everything 
works.

Relevance to the Qtask market perhaps: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20050920/ap_on_bi_ge/microsoft_reorganization
That is, "relevant"

Yeah, pretty much all big corps are pairing down, Sony is dropping 
from 7 divs down to just 3!  It will be relevant in about 18 months. 
 Then they have to decide who to buy next since they still won't 
be able to make it inside.


Just for the record, there is very BAD news for Qtask, for one simple 
reason, even if some company got it right, and started building what 
we are building, there will always be a lot of companies that refuse 
to work with company X, and we will be company Y-not-us?  I would 
be happy to be the Apple to the Sony.
Oops.  Sorry about the post in the wrong place, I'm in a far off 
lnad right now and response time is a little slow, so I hit send 
to fast.

We announced the DevCon that as of 2005-Oct-1 the BEER framework 
is now free as in "free beer". You can download it from here http://www.whywire.net/share/beer-sdk.tar.gz
I hope Gabriele can post the vidceo for my presentation soon, so 
that you can see how it works and its capabilities.

I'm experimenting again with mediawiki .. previously this site wouldn't 
work as the host only had an early version of mysql.  Now, that they 
have updated it, it is live!

Not here. In the browser i trust me, so i disable the save-question. 
On my side, i could start script immediate, instead of showing first. 
But for a debug-demo i prefer feedback :)

I don't mean action as looking into source, etc., that is a good 
part .... but simply prerequisite is to have installed View anyway, 
then download your .exe, put it somewhere, link to it etc.

A tiny news reader http://www.ddmind.com/modules.php?name=gdp_rforum

You can select the group adding the parameter ng:  http://www.ddmind.com/modules.php?name=gdp_rforum&ng=comp.lang.functional

Rebol pluging is used to connect and retrieve message, javascript 
is used to display posts, and as in ajax apps no need to refresh 
the page to get new messages.
PS Should be nice to have a comp.lang.rebol usenet group :-)

Version 1.0.0 of %printf.r posted to rebol.org
[unknown: 9]
31-Dec-2005
[200]
The Gripe:


Go here www.Rebol.org, then go here: http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/, 
then here: http://java.sun.com/, hell even go here, http://msdn.microsoft.com/vbasic/, 
now go back to www.Rebol.com


Even if you don't know what the language is or does, do you want 
to go to Rebol.org?  The main page looks like the last page in the 
basement of a website.  Almost like an "error page"

O There is no single location for all Rebol information.

O Rebol.net, Rebol.com, and Rebol.org are spread out and run by RT. 
O There is no pizzas!
O I don't "feel" community when I visit these sites.


I know I'm not talking to my audience when I say; "think of this 
like a night club" but this is what this is all about.  People want 
to "be where the fun is happening."  Even programmers.

My Suggestion:

O We need a site controlled by the developers.

O We need a forum where people can bitch and meet each other, and 
feel welcome.

O The site needs to have a consistent dynamic attractive template.

O The site needs to be a clearing house for all other sites.  Teach 
and directing people to all the resources.

O The site needs to paint a picture as opposed to describe everything 
with a thousand words.

What is entailed:


O Start a new site, I would propose "RebolCentral.com"  I'm willing 
to pay for it, but I don't want to be in charge of it, I suggest 
we make it a committee.


O The main page should cover every topic and reason anyone would 
come to the site.  This means we support every country and other 
site.  The idea here is a clearing house of centralized information. 


O News: The site needs to gather news worthy information and post 
that at the top.  The site is not alive unless people have a way 
to post their information.  This means that there needs to be at 
least one editor, if not several that share the task.  Every time 
a product is updated, the new features are mentioned.  When Carl 
updates his blog, it gets a single sentence directing people there, 
unless it is news of a release of something.  Etc.


O Product Reviews:   This is key.  Products need to be rated, reviewed, 
categorized, voted on.

O Video Archive: All the videos of all the talks ever given   


O Tutorials:  there are a lot of tutorials out there, but which are 
best?  We need to review the tutorials, rate them by Beginner, Intermediate, 
Advanced.  


O Forum: Start with major topics, and then break it down.  The forum 
needs to direct people to other countries, or support the other countries 
right in the forum.  Great simple forum: http://discussion.treocentral.com/index.php?styleid=1


O Respect the real estate.  The #1 mistake people make is treating 
their websites like just pages.  This is just like real estate, location 
location location.  We need to place the content based on where people 
are going.  So you build the basic site, watch it for a couple of 
weeks, then shift things around based on where people are actually 
going. 


O More art, more photos, more community.   It needs to feel inviting: 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/events/pdc/

Stone soup:


I will pay for, host, and supply a fast linux system (w/archive). 
 

I will help design the templates, and provide (and buy if needed) 
great art for the site.

I will not run the site, nor control the content, but I expect there 
to be in place all the items outlined above, set up in a manner that 
it a) runs itself, b) puts the power in the hands of the developers.

New MySQL driver version 1.0.0 supporting servers v4.1.1+ : http://softinnov.org/tmp/mysql-protocol.r
. This is a beta release, please report in MySQL channel any bugs. 
This release has not been tested with servers v3.x (but should work).

RebDB v2.0.2 released: http://www.dobeash.com/it/rebdb/


This release fixes a critical bug with multi-column DISTINCT statements 
that can cause incorrect query results to be returned. The bug was 
eventually tracked down to the behaviour of unique/skip in REBOL, 
so developers making use of unique/skip should be aware of this [somewhat 
unexpected] behaviour:

	>> unique/skip [1 "A" 1 "B"] 2
	== [1 "A"]
	>> unique/skip ["A" 1 "B" 1] 2
	== ["A" 1 "B" 1]


If someone could cross-post this to the ML that would be much appreciated.

Viewtop-extenders: To get started: launch-thru/update http://polly.rebol.it/test/site-desktop.r

That desktop does not ask security-questions, some pathes patched.

That way you can put a personalized desktop on your site, which can 
be launched from the real one. It patches the inbuild one, so size 
is 1242 bytes.

New version of SQL-PROTOCOL is published on http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/view-script.r?script=sql-protocol.r


This new version is a first attempt of standard SQL string parsing. 
It's limited yet to SELECT clause. INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE will 
be done soon. Previously, sql-protocol was only able to process SQL 
like dialect, the road to a better compatibility with SQL is now 
a reality. I will make it compatible with MySQL as much as possible.
I remember you that sql-protocol is able to process SELECT, INSERT, 
UPDATE and DELETE,  and CREATE or DROP TABLE query and is able to 
join tables. ORDER BY and LIKE are supported but GROUP BY, COUNT, 
MAX and all other statistical functions are not yet supported.


It can be also compatible with Microsoft ODBC Text Driver database 
(Delimited, CSVDelimited and TABDelimited tables) so you can share 
your database with other ODBC applications, like for example Excel 
to produce pivot table or pivot chart, or Word to produce letters 
and mailing.

Little goodie for Windows users: http://www.colellachiara.com/soft/Misc/clips.r


It will stay in your system tray and keep track of your clipboard 
(remembers the last 5 clips). They are saved in a file so you get 
them back across reboots. You can also add notes that won't get pushed 
out from the clips. Selecting a note or a clip will copy it back 
to your clipboard so that you can paste it wherever you want.
