Rishi, please forgive me for editing your writing, but I found it difficult
to read.

That sounds good. I'd like the name of the [rebol-developers--egroups] list to
be better though. How about these:
[Rebol-Tips--egroups--com]
[Rebol-Help--egroups--com]
[Rebol-Solutions--egroups--com]
[Rebol-Aid--egroups--com]
[Rebol-Aide--egroups--com] - I quite like this one.
[Rebol-Advice--egroups--com]
[Rebol-Solutions--egroups--com] - Sounds more like a consultancy.
[Your suggestion here.]
The name has to instantly say to the person who's reading about it and
who's thinking, 'what's it all about?' [Rebol-List--egroups--com] doesn't do it
(neither did [list--rebol--com] either), but it does serve as a name for the
[list--rebol--com] replacement.
Once we've decided on a better name, I'll tranfer people's email from
this list, [Rebol-List--egroups--com], to the new list
[Rebol-The-New-Name-Here--egroups--com].

As I wrote before, [Rebol-Advocacy--egroups--com] doesn't sound like a list for
that purpose, sounding instead like a name for a government pressure group.
How about these:
[Rebol-Development--egroups--com] - Sounds more like the one above!
[Rebol-Prospects--egroups--com]
[Rebolution--egroups--com] - I quite like this one!
[Rebol-Directions--egroups--com]
[Your suggestion here.]

I think you're quite right. This also agree with pekr, I believe. I, too,
would like to be able to have a Rebol/View with /Command incorporated.

perspective, but the others lists didn't seem unreasonable. Myself, I am no
longer very interested in Core discussions. I may even drop this one, and
just subscribe to View. I like the List, its just a lot emails to deal
with.

I could alter the description of:
[Rebol-Core--egroups--com]
[Rebol-View--egroups--com]
[Rebol-Command--egroups]
to emphasize the specific nature of these lists, and to be more an
announcement list, for when new versions of these producets are available
from Rebol, and for specific question and answers solely about those
products.
That way, Ryan can subscribe to [Rebol-View--egroups--com] and drop the
others, as that it is his declared intent.
