As Maxim told documentation is a must.
What about RT "asking" the support of the mailing list?
I tried to imagine the time * number of messages and the 50 lire
(or 2 cents, if you like) idea is this:
- RT makes a very complete manual index for /view in make-doc style
exactly like for the /core PDF and this index is put on rebol.com
- The list of 'word(s) and arguments listed in the index is saved
in a text file on rebol.com
- When someone asks something the one able to reply can send a copy
to [manual--rebol--com] with a subject containing the 'word(s) and
arguments of the index named above

One minute more when someone sends a solution, collectively used-up
can make the missing RT time for making docs. In addition they have not to
lose time to send back the same info next time some newbie ask the same
question.
The best could be: RT makes a REBOL script similar to the feedback
so
solutions
can be sent as paragraphs of the manual. A prize from RT to the
main manual contributors is needed too ;)
Maybe I'm a dreamer, but reading /view docs actually looks like a
dream...
