World: r3wp

the questions gives you the answers :)

20 years ago computing whas somthing different, now days things get 
verry competitive

Reichart would know that, for example, that nowadays it seems to 
take big bucks to make a game. Again, I believe that's a mindset.

and dont forget propaganda !

Yes, propaganda. MS has adopted the IBM "Nobody ever got fired for 
buying IBM" tactic. Very successfully I might add.

rebol community likes to go against the odds :)

the returns are better

y, i have that kind of faith too

Ok, some answers on Gab's stuff.

this stuff is being tested now, ready by Nov 14.

Services?

referring to LNS?

It will support custom servers, and there will be a public server 
that everyone can use to search for Reb Services.  For example, if 
someone offers a service like World Time, then you can search for 
this, and then start using this service.

Reb services.

Since I may have missed something, what is LNS?

Lightweight Network Services , IIRC

RT's product for RebServices

Ok.

Last chance for any direct questions of Gab?

I should mention, Gab wrote this, and Rchard and Gab have been working 
with Rebol on a contract basis.

For specific focused features.

haha, one other person, who does not actually remember what the abbreviation 
means :-) Maybe a good signal to change it. Most of us will refer 
to it as a rebservices anyway :-)

Q: will async kernel be back?

On sec.

Carl's goal was to move it over,  but things got mixed up.  Some 
people had problems building handlers, since there is not critical 
management section.  So inside an asynch hander yo uput a print command, 
and it gets changed by other parts of the system.  So it made it 
too complex.

So for now the solution is to bring it back...even soon, but he wants 
to solve these things first.

He is going to open to talk with everyone.

OK, thanks ... when adding async back, we might actually add some 
thread or tasking support :-)

but that may open the door for other developers and aplications }

... and timers to Core of course :-)

Yes, we need to have a SIG group here to really review this.

But he wants it back also.

what does SIG stands for>?

timers and multitasking any news about that ?

Special Interest Group.  Sorry about that TLA.

Gab just finished.  And the talk today is done.

But tomorrow, we will be back on.  For those that are on.

probably on..to catch your presentation

ok, thank you very much Reichard, it is really a good service you 
are doing here for those unlucky, who could not attend for whatever 
reason!

but u won't be here to 'relay'

thanks Reichart...

I wish you had the feed,  it is a real shame this is so hard to make 
happen!

yes many thanks

I talk REALLY fast, it is probably best to allow people to record, 
and look at it later.

Now someone could at least confirm, if rich text and rebcode are 
already done and will be in rebol?

Thanks to the Baron !

I even talk fast for myself, when I watch tapes of me, I realize 
how fast.  But in my head everything is really slow.

yes.. that is why it is best to communicate with you via AltMe...than 
maybe the phone or in person ..

I need the reason to drink some whiskey at the evening, to celebrate 
something - so gimme some concrete news :-)

Pekr, build me a clear list of your questions, and I will ask them 
all here.

Is this one of your questions "Now someone could at least confirm, 
if rich text and rebcode are already done and will be in rebol?"
