[REBOL] Re: FTP gadget

Dr. Turk, thank you for passing the pointer.
So all know, we are still hard at work.
Building a consumer product on top of Rebol is very interesting.
It is working, but there are several small problems that we are working on
with the RebolTech team to resolve that should permit the product to become
much more responsive. When FTPGadget does some network functions, it locks
up until done.
On the other hand, it is VERY cool to "write once, run on many."
Everyone's feedback here has been REALLY helpful.
Now that we got the basics, we are moving onto the next phase. This is
basically the phase where we make the product look and feel cool, and make
it much more like a file manager, and less like a custom app for moving
files on FTP sites.
I just gave word to the art department to start building a UI that is more
like something you would find on OS X. Whether you like Macs or not, they
are sexy. And I like the super clean photo real look.
On the features side, we did a fun thing on www.ProGadget.com's site.
Everything we are planning to fix or add, and everything we have already
added is in a dynamic list. Take a look
http://www.progadget.com/FTPGadget/features.php
If there are things you want fixed first, or added, shoot us mail, your
feedback goes right into my list.
As stated before, as we make this a great product, and regardless of what we
do to it, it will always be FREE to the team that is here on Rebol List.
Be useful.
Reichart...
