[REBOL] FAQ at REBOL Republic
From: ryan:christiansen:intellisol at: 12-Apr-2001 16:23
The REBOL FAQ at Rebol Republic has begun. What I will do is work backwards
from today on the rebol-list threads at eScribe to put together the FAQ. If
anyone wants to volunteer to help with this HUGE effort, it would be
greatly appreciated. See the FAQ at
http://www.fargonews.com/rebolrepublic/
The rebolrepublic.org domain should work within 48 hours.
Why am I doing this?
1. I want to see REBOL not only flourish, but survive. Unfortunately, it is
a closed-source language and if REBOL Technologies dies, so will the
language (I assume.) For those of you who know me from the BeOS community,
you know I am willing to put a lot of free time into something I believe
in. Unfortunately, the BeOS is dying and, being a closed-source technology,
as well, the BeOS can never be revived by the people who love and use it.
The BeOS is only slightly more than abandonware. I appreciate
wholeheartedly the fact REBOL Technologies has continued to update /Core
and /View for the BeOS, including for PowerPC. Let's hope we never see
REBOL disappear due to economic pressures and the fact it is closed source
technology.
2. I want to learn more about REBOL. I'm absolutely not the best REBOLer on
this list, but I will learn more by doing this.
