World: r3wp

yep Mister Biran, it's the same

* Brian, sorry

Weird. Do you use a different LOAD than the one in R3 by default, 
or a different SCRIPT?

ahah no, i save my scripts in ANSI format

I meant the function SCRIPT? not your text encoding :)

Question for the community:

It has been a long time since REBOL 2 was first released. Is it finally 
OK to remove the ELSE native from R3?

ELSE hasn't been used since R1, and has thrown an error since the 
first R2 betas. Can we get rid of it now?

yes !!!! got it !!!
REBOL [] must be in uppercase it not, it failes.
Give me a medal Brian

*if not

Cool, I'll update the ticket.

it's not a bug Brian, onl

If the user doesn''t write REBOL in uppercase, he must be fired... 
;-)

We have a lot of hot programmers in the community... :)

(oh my god !!! i have not anymore cigarettes)

brb

The horror!

(ouf i'm saved, i have cigarettes and whisky)

f: func [n] [if n = 1 [print 1] else [print 0]]
f 2
Re else;
** Script Error: else has no value
vs
** Script Error: else is obsolete. Use the EITHER function


Second one far better for new to REBOL people imho.  The'll only 
do the second case twice in a career, the first may have them scratching 
head for 10 minutes and giving this new REBOL thing the boot.

Lies, damned lies, and statistics
 :

525 tickets on CureCode Rebol3
41 dimissed
2 completed
482 outstanding

Though 320 are marked as tested.

The 2 completed are documentation requests. The reason the tested 
and dismissed ones are not marked completed is because I don't know 
the policy for making that distinction.

Tested=>Completed : I guess that once the fix (or new feature) is 
released to users, it should be marked as completed.

It would be grest if you could get the tested requests marked as 
completed as the stats give such a bad false impression.

Doc's definition sounds good with the proviso that the status can 
be reverted if the user finds the bug hasn't been fixed.

Btw, ticket should be closed by the emitter once the fix is released. 
If the user don't do that after a given period (let say 1 or 2 weeks, 
one of CC's admin or developers can do that instead).

BrianH : yes please remove "else"

virtual block looks very cool !   how were you able to use the same 
words insert,copy,etc.. on new datatype (I suppose without changing 
the initial insert functions) .. can this be done in rebol, I thought 
it's not possible but being able to define something like generic 
words on custom datatypes would be very important function? hm.. 
while I am at it... I realized I have no idea about what datatypes 
in rebol are and if one can make it's own..

Janko, because the supported functions like COPY works on ports, 
and virtual blocks is a port scheme, customizing how COPY works with 
that specific scheme.

Ahaa.. I saw ports and schemes mentioned and that you can define 
your own, but still have no idea what they are, will need to read 
more about it..

rebol is both very small and very big at the same time

(in a good way)

so it's not a new datatype, but a new scheme for port!.

yes, I realized .. that's why I said big.. usually there are functions 
and variables, here are so many things, dialects, schemes .. etc 
:)

I think you can figure out how it works by reading Steeves code. 
It's quite simple.

that link doesn't work for me , and I also don't have r3 to test 
it

I saw some tutorial about creating new "protoco handler" .. or is 
that a third thing?

it should be the same thing

if you read about ports in the wiki, they'll give a fair explanation 
of how they work.

it's the same reason you can use READ on files, HTTP, FTP, etc.

aha yes.. this is interesting concept .. I was alredy thinking about 
it when I was using pop:// protocol (carl probably realized that 
most "communication" can be abstracted in means on operating on serries)..

then I suppose to create new scheme needs to just provide handlers 
for all those funcs, insert, copy, delete .. ?

Henrik, to what level are you being involved in R3 development?

I work on the GUI and point out bugs to Carl.

Do you guys get to get down to the C code at all or is that strictly 
controlled by Carl?

C is only Carl and Cyphre. Everyone else only work with REBOL. But 
we are allowed to contribute C code if he wants something specific.

Oh what about Gabriele? I thought he had that type of access.

Yes, but he is very busy with QTask for the moment. He has contributed 
HTTP, REBOL/Services and the first prototype of the VID3 GUI.

I see.

Janko, yes, exactly. If you open a port, you get a port object with 
information about what the scheme does. When that port is passed 
to COPY, appropriate actions are taken to carry out the COPY function 
that resides inside the scheme.

All of you volunteers are do you guys get paid for your work?
