I have no special rights ...

you don't need special rights to read message #6739.

How was I supposed to know that your message was in response to my 
statement from 2 weeks ago???

Type "6739", press Enter, press J and the previous author is Graham.

Wouldn't it be simpler if you put my name in the sentence so that 
I know you are talking to me?

I can do that next time.

Anyway I was able to edit this page http://www.rebol.com/r3/docs/functions/read.html

because my r3 chat rating was 50

That's a manual page, so that looks OK. Can you edit a page like 
this one:

http://www.rebol.com/rebol3/

To edit a page, you need a "edit" menu on the page

try clicking the red box on the upper right corner

Yes ...

ok? I get: "Restricted action. You have attempted to access a section 
of this website that requires administrative access."

on what page?

on that page I linked to above.

when clicking the red box in the upper right corner

Oh ... is that what you meant by red box

http://www.rebol.com/r3/docs/functions/read.html

see the word "edit" top right ... I think that's the only time you 
can edit a page

I think the point is that we should be able to edit those pages too, 
but it seems not to be the case right now.

And the point is we are blocked while Carl goes incommunicado ago 
...

we're not blocked in the manual

also I can see three more items checked on the priorities page from 
the last time I checked it a few hours ago, so docs conversion is 
progressing.

create the code - test it - write the final docs

why do you want to start at the end?

Perhaps it makes better sense for Carl to do this now to test specific 
areas of R3. During this, Carl has also posted curecode reports.

I see no new curecode tickets for the last 3 days

posted 4 and 5 days ago. a couple more earlier in the month.

While I agree that the website overhaul has a very bad timing, I 
also think that the new website is an incredible improvement

We finally have an official-lookin collection of changelogs (http://www.rebol.com/docs/changes.html)

There is an unheard of (for RT) transparence of work done on the 
website (http://www.rebol.com/recent.html). A cynic might think, 
though, that it can surely be only a matter of time until that page 
is locked down and protected and whatnot.

A lot of us never visit the website ...

The old one was basically completely useless

And that's why we never visited ...

Still, I don't think that all this shiny website freshness does justify 
the total lack of R3-related activity and/or communication. Just 
as one could sense at least a tiny bit of R3 momentum ...

I think this belongs more to rebol3 than I'm new , even though I 
am new :-)
foo: copy "ABCD"
insert foo "ä"
? foo
to-binary foo

Returns ..  Utf-8 encoded string.

I heard someone say that R3 was going to reintroduce the R2 console 
- is that true?  I hate pasting code into the current console - it 
is never formatted correctly for it.

i would like to use again rebol plugin with R3 !!!!!. because i don't 
like javaFx ;-)

but we need first a good R3 GUI

a R3 ODBC scheme and others (mysql etc...)

a Cheyenne with R3 would be great too

it would be fun to counter JEE6 and make it easier & simpler with 
an example of pestore or something else ;-)

it would be a good showcase for the possibilities of R3

all you need is "R3" tatatata... ;-p)

How would you like to contribute?

Paul, the R2 console is Windows only, so Carl doesn't want to re-use 
that console, but it could probably be used as a temporary measure 
(that would be another diversion). Use something like this for now:

xyz: read clipboard://

Paul, correct, that's what he said

Priorities page now shows all secondary pages processed.

http://www.rebol.com/recent.html

The changes page should list all changes on one page. Otherwise you 
have to click yourself to death.

for all the worried, Carl twitted "Wrapping up website changes. Was 
a huge, intense project, but had to be done. The site is much more 
manageable as a result."
