I don't know about the name compensation part on the above book<g> but I
spent about three very hard, very immersed-in-REBOL months of my life
writing REBOL FOR DUMMIES. I don't regret it. I hope my writing reflects the
excitment and potential I see in REBOL and I continue to support it, talk it
up, and use it myself on a daily basis. ... REBOL still has a long way to go
in "catching on," but the enthusiasm of those of us using it should help in
achieving that goal.
Meanwhile, keep on REBOLling.
