[REBOL] Re: Forum Name

Yeah I agree. I wouldn't want to fracture the community much more at this
point. I do think Altme serves a great purpose. Problem is that we need a
place where quick access to answers can be provided. The more scattered the
mediums that attempt to gain our rebol attention the more chances that we
wont get that perk that having a narrow resource pool gives us. So if
anything, we probably need to have more marketing and inclusion for the
Altme REBOL world instead. And at some time in the fuure its my hope that
after REBOL-VIEW world has completed its task it will be accessible somehow
from the REBOL world.
