very slick looking web site.

Maarten nice site.   But  "... Note that the sourcecode is published!" 
- um, where?

That is why I wondered, why RT put it on their main site :-)

Permanent unless I move my site, but it should remain at that relative 
path doc/vid-words-dialect.txt

Btiffin, nice site. So what's Cheyenne doing for you?

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4587is a good match 
for that site IMHO :) (its a lot more blue

btiffin: Looks like I updated Wine from the winehq site late November, 
so I've got a pretty recent version.

http://www.site-assistant.com/faq.rspshows one "is" to much

Site Assistant is is programmed in an innovative programming language 
REBOL ...

 I have no such place yet .. except me here or my email
 - I've created a !Site-Assistant group to be such a place.

about www.reboltutorial.com , its one of the best rebol specific 
pages out there... There is a lot of very cool & unknown work on 
that page.... too bad the author hasn't put any of his stuff on rebol.org.... 
we would have more knowledge of it.   strange is that the author's 
name isn't anywhere on the site... even though we have a good clue 
as to who it is IIRC...

We need a site for this purpose (Rebol bounty hunters)...
Who can do that ?
Hum, bad idea because we need this site to build this site.

Pekr, can you show us a site like that ?

Let's start a bounty to build the bounty site...

maybe a bot is crawling your site

google will crawl your site if you have the google toolbar

now that I have visited ... google knows about your site

Max, the dark look, chiseled/scratched steel of moliad.net makes 
me think of a gaming type site - is that what you were going after?

I wanted to try out a different style, using texture and specifically 
going against the white & "pure".


It evolved into this dirty "workshop" style, which I find appropriate 
for a site about tools.

The styling mechanism is all up to you.  currently, the site is a 
mix of CSS, images and run-time html generation.


As I start adding dynamic content tags, I might start using some 
remark code within the CSS to keep the style programmable.


things like colors, texture-names, could all be resolved from remark. 
 Where and how that information is stored is totally separate from 
the engine.


remark tags are little dialects which are created & parsed dynamically, 
stored as sets, which are called document models.   Using a smart 
caching system and a feature I call "dialect Learning" you can *merge* 
different document models together and leverage code from a variety 
of sources.


In the above the <main-menu!> might generate markup containing remark 
tags which you define before or later, the menu will adapt its style 
for your needs.   so the same menu, will in fact generate different 
html output based on what mix of document models you are using.  
 one might build animated javascript, the other might be only static 
HTML.


the style is much more than just "looks" its actual content, but 
the nice thing is that your source HTML is totally unchanged, and 
there is no "Code" in your pages, only markup.

for this site probably.  Even some javascript will be generated on-the-fly.

this means a <!users-table> tag which is defined via <!table>  could 
actually generate different content if the <!user-list> tag from 
various document models are used in different parts of your site 
or one different sites.   


meaning that the same content pages, will ultimately adapt to the 
document models used, and not the other way around, which is how 
we are used to building web pages.

janko.. my site is all built using remark, and uses jquery (which 
I used for the menues) embed as a module

I'd really like to see more about MML Ashley.
 ... http://www.dobeash.com/MML/mml.html


Note that this is still a WIP (it's evolving as my site requirements 
evolve).

The handshake is a multi-step process to get a user's credentials: 
request a temporary token, send the user to the site, user comes 
back and enters a code, request a permanent token.

Your list-view for example - in hind-site you say it's big and bulk 
and could be done better - but the Grids and Tables that Microsoft 
and Java dish out can't come near to matching what yours provides 
out-of the-box

Did you find it from the REBOL site, or some other way?

Thanks. I asked because it's a good resource for new people, but 
it's kind of buried on the REBOL site.

Whoa.  Elizabeth has posted a much nicer reprint on the forth.com 
site.    http://www.forth.com/starting-forth/
Nice!

REBOL 3 as a product, or this world? Well, you can find what is currently 
going on on rebol.com site, rebol 3 section. To summarize - RT is 
revising VID3 design (you might notice extensive blogging about the 
topic). There are also few features being considered for the core 
language, in order to make some constructs more easier/natural.

There's a FAQ on the site about Ext3 access.

Anyone know anything Apache exploits?  My site has been defaced http://www.compkarori.co.nz:8090

On the Free Software Foundation site I read about gNewSense linux 
based on Debian. The gNewSense Laptop and Netbook Guide 
http://wiki.gnewsense.org/Main/LaptopGuide#toc1

lists a laptop, the Lemote YeeLoong
http://www.tekmote.nl

Has anyone seen or tried this laptop?

I've tried REBOL with 3 Linux distributions now (Arch Linux, Puppy 
Linux, Ubuntu) and the Fedora version of REBOL is always the one 
that works best. Is there even a Linux distribution that works with 
the Libc6 version? Maybe it would be a good idea to mention on the 
download site "You probably want to download the Fedora version" 
to make this easier for new users and maybe also rename the Fedora 
download since it doesn't work for just Fedora.

On the twiki site http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Plugins/GenPDFLatexAddOn

I found this

#  Setup the Latex rendering software


    * Ensure that a latex document preparation system is available to 
    the user name (uid) running the twiki web server.

    * Install any custom latex style files needed. The best suggestion 
    is to create a local texmf tree accessible by the server. For example, 
    for an apache server running as 'nobody' on a linux system:

          o create the directory /home/nobody/texmf/tex/latex, with reasonable 
          permissions.

          o Place the custom .cls and .sty latex files in this directory

          o as user root or nobody, run texhash /home/nobody/texmf to create 
          the ls-R latex database file for the /home/nobody/texmf/ tree.

they were hit by a hacker who defaced their site ...

The last version of Rebview binary it's called "rebol", not rebview 
as usual. It's on rebol.com site.

STEEL web site - tools for REBOL is now moved and completely refreshed.


currently has up to date information on liquid, slim  and reTools. 
 Will be uploading some GLayout docs next week.

REMARK HAS NOW FINALLY BEEN RELEASED ON THE STEEL WEB SITE


REMARK is a robust web site building tool which allows you to construct 
your own custom tags using rebol values and dialecting.

The main difference of remark with other tools of its kind, is that 
the web pages do not contain code, they contain data or parameters 
to your custom tags.  Remark also persistently reparses tags until 
no more custom tags exist in the dialected tags you create. this 
means you can actually build up your pages with custom which use 
custom tags themselves... talk about leverage! 


at version 1.3.5 it support multiple site configs, ftp dumping, site 
specific configuration, and the very flexible remark engine itself. 


Creating tags is trivial and for simple templating, you don't even 
need to know how to code in rebol... just html content within stored 
files can be nested within your site's pages and will be included, 
by simply adding a tag which is called like the stored html.


Using differently named source file extensions you can even decide 
to parse the content differently, so that you can create different 
page templates or one can even decide to create a make-doc handler 
for example (its not included by default, just possible if you need 
it).


you can check-out the FULL documentation, including tutorial, example 
site, reference page and guides on adding new tags and templates. 


here: http://www.pointillistic.com/open-REBOL/moa/steel/retools/index.html

Oldes: you site is awesome, really.

Can't reach hte site. Down?

site was probably doing nightly server update

Site Assistant, which is fully made in REBOL, has been released as 
public beta. This means you can all sign-up (for free) and try it 
 -- and report me the bugs :)

I am trying to get the core system stable and tested, features will 
still be added. S-A frontend runs on Cheyenne, and backend bots are 
also written in REBOL.
http://www.site-assistant.com

www.rebol.org is being moved by the ISP to a faster server.  I'm 
not sure they understand what's really involved, so it is very likely 
that the site is going to break.

I have made a screencast of "the other" REBOL/Cheyenne/JS project 
besides Site Assistant that I have been developing. It's in my language 
(Slovene) only for now and so is the screencast but I hope images 
will also give some feeling what it's about.  http://screencast.com/t/HxfFGtg9r

Hi all,


After learning a lot from you all I feel like I should contribute 
a bit.

On http://alain.goye.free.fr/rebol/or on Rebol Desktop's "AGReb" 
Reb site,
you can find:


- an updated version of %NoteReb.r, a REBOL tree-like notes organizer,
similar to and compatible with http://www.treepad.com/.

This new version of NoteReb.r has quite more functionalities; I use 
it to

work. A major bug seems to remain when intensively using the "undo" 
function
of Romano's edit-text-undo.r , which is quite nice despite that.


- a simple todo list, %todo-ag.r, which orders tasks by priority 
based on
their importance, workload and deadline...


If anyone likes these please drop me a line, and if you improve them, 
all
the better!

Alain.

The author behind http://reboltutorial.comasked me to let you know 
about his site. I found the tutorial on Parsing quite helpful. Check 
it out. The Testimonials and the links like http://coolnamehere.com/geekery/rebol/index.html
are interesting.

Anyway, about the App...

It's a study tool for the FDNY Promotional Exams. It incorporates 
all the FDNY Manuals into a special format (Similar to Make-doc) 
and allows you to hi-lite, "attach" notes, search the entire catalogue, 
bookmark your place, track "buzz words" Future versions will incorporate 
thousands of test questions all of which are linked to the material 
by book, chapter, and section, and also the ability to add tour own 
questions. Curriculums will be added to guide study of only pertinent 
materials for and test and the ability to form your own curriculums.


Updates to the program and the study material is automatic as well 
as synchronization of a users hi-lites, notes etc. ( this allows 
for a user to use from multiple locations, home/work etc., and also 
serves as a back-up method for what could be months of work for the 
user.

Many more plans...


If you are interested, my site is still alpha and looks like crap 
but it has some screen shots and a video of the program in action. 
I'm using Cheyenne (Thanks Doc) and there is a cute (but ugly) RSP 
page that handles my FAQs page... http://firecaptainnyc.com


If you are really interested, feel free to contact me and I can give 
you the link to download it....

There is a guest mode and demo mode built in...

I welcome any feedback!

no, but its pretty much the same as what is documented on the R3 
extensions site... its really easy.

Code for R3 extension in D posted on web-site: www.rm-asset.com/code/downloads

Ashley: that site looks very clean and light in positive way.


Maxim: cool front page and menus (I got 404 on clicks, i suppose 
that is not yet done). Who makes such cool graphics

'tweet function for posting to Twitter: http://www.ross-gill.com/r/tweet.html

Usage:


 do/args http://www.ross-gill.com/r/tweet.r[... keys/secrets per 
 settings ...]
	tweet "Status Update"


You can either do/args, or download the script and modify the header. 
 Caveat: you'll need the Application Key/Secret (obtained from the 
Twitter Dev Site) and the User Key/Secret (you'd have to do the handshake 
to get these, see my %twitter.r page: http://www.ross-gill.com/page/Twitter_API_and_REBOL).


Use at your own risk, you would not want to share any of the keys/secrets.

It doesn't really affect the site yet, but there's an extra year 
of development in there

need a site to host the BBS and to select one.

That's how Carl did it in warp-image.r, so I assume that is close 
to what I need.  Anton might use some different techniques in some 
of his recently published drag & drop examples on his site.  I need 
to look at them again to see how he handled dragging the shape.

Henrik: so when your laptop is off, your site too ?!

Thanks. I found original site. Well, 100KB to have cross-platform 
compiler? Nice. It will not prevent devs to write cross-platform 
code, but those who would like to do so, could do so, and that is 
important ... Licence - LGPL, so it might work OK as an extension 
...

Also there is a pretty high chance that the old site will expire 
in a near future. I will create a new one, but at this moment I'm 
busy to finish Wii version of Machinarium which means I must put 
360MB of the original game to the Nintendo's 40MB limit. I'm still 
6MB over at this moment.

it will be online this week-end... as part of the roll-out of my 
web site.

Will your web site be the actual Steel-toolkit web site or another 
you will start-up ?

I'm working on a completely new site, with more than just programming.

ok, see it on your site.

In the meantime, I have also on my todo list a dedicated web site 
for Cheyenne. I'll work on that in the next days.

This will be the new official web site for Cheyenne. I still needs 
some time to migrate all the old stuff, including the blog.

On the web site linked above in the Chunk-encoding section: transferts 
-> transfers

There is a paper on Philip Wadler's site: http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/wadler/documents/ServiceArchitectures.pdf


Check footnote 32 on page 21 (chapter 13). That's what stopped us.

Basically it's the part which was showstoper for Rebol plugin - shortly 
it works in a way, that if you want to connect to some site with 
Flash, Flash first loads crossdomain.xml file from the target server 
where must be your domain allowed to access the server domain. If 
it's not allowed, the Flash do not connects at all. It's a basic 
prevention of doing Dos attacks from Flash Player.

very nice wiki site

I use a Virtual hosted site. Does anyone else out there do the same? 
I'd like to confine my Cheyenne tests to a particular test site and 
not affect all the other sites. Yes, I suppose I could also do everything 
locally but it would be fun to have it "live and real." I'm wondering 
if anyone has some thoughts about this. I'm not a linux/apache wiz 
so I'm not sure if the httpd config can be set for a specific site 
or is it global?

That said, I think it is possible to run different web servers on 
the same web site. For example, it is possible to have a leaner web 
server handle static content and have Apache handle dynamic content

I still don't understand where's your issue...What's wrong with :

your-function: func [obj][
	;-- do whatever you want here with 'obj
]

publish-site [
	default: func [req params svc][
		your-function req
	]
	...
]

but I see what you mean...   can the  [req params svc] args be accessed 
outside of the publish-site function?

Hi, I'm new to cheyenne. I've tried http://localhost/and I get 
the message It works!. But I can't view my site.  How can I ? Any 
tips?

Hi Henrick, I store my site at %/c/www/

Nicholas "Hi, I'm new to cheyenne. I've tried http://localhost/
and I get the message It works!. But I can't view my site.  How can 
I ? Any tips?"

should be Cheyenne/www/site here ....

I can't view my site
 <- what exactly happens?

Nicolas.. your site needs to be in Cheyenne's www folder -> %/c/Cheyenne/www 
(or

http://rebol.hmkdesign.dk/site/pages/<-- try this page

If you use a url like

http://user:[password-:-localhost]/


where is the user and password captured?  I see the browsers FF and 
Chrome immediately remove the userid/password from the address bar. 
 IE complains that it's not a valid site

And also to deal with authentication.  Basic authentication will 
be used for each api call .. and the whole site will be behind https.

If you can access to the server through rconsole just do this : write 
%debug.log mold uniserve (and put the compressed version of the %debug.log 
file on your web site so I can download it).

Got error on Henrik's site - RSP error catched - internal limit reached: 
parse

It's the version from your site.

Btw, here's some stats for cheyenne-server.org web site (online since 
jun-2008) :

Total page viewed : 48224

  - Static pages : 9824
  - Blog : 19179
  - Wiki : 19221

Very interesting idea. My easy-cgi tries to serve as a "package", 
which can be just copied to any cgi-enabled site. I am at very beginning, 
not really trying to do more than simple cgi stuff, sqlite, sessions 
....

If anyone has the stamina, I did a few videos linked to here http://synapsedirect.com/forums/permalink/7870/7869/ShowThread.aspx#7869

1. Shows the creation of an interactive PDF using Acrobat Pro 9
2. How to register the PDF on my Cheyenne web site

3. How the new registered PDF can be prefilled on download, completed, 
submitted and retrieved

Thanks for the link Paul, I'll check that site next time I need a 
name! :-)

Back to the old expect-arg issue after the reboot. Upping the post-mem-limit 
to way beyond the expected size of the posted files solved the issue, 
for now. This is not going to be a high-volume site, so that's no 
problem.

I run 2 cheyenne webites (site-assistant and qwikitodo) and 2 apache 
solr servers and a bunch of rebol bots on 180MB RAM VPS for 12EUR/month.. 
and pages load in a snap (unless I add sqlite update/delete/insert 
to the pageload)

Because every web site running Cheyenne doesn't need RSP scripts. 
For example, softinnov.org is only using SSI (Server Side Includes).

Do you have any feedback about the web site ? I will publish it on 
QTask, for the future generations...

I will ask RT to host the site archive and the videos. My host at 
rebdocproj.org does not allow too much HD space....

Anyone a member of Amigaworld?
