[REBOL] Re: library

Hi,
The problem is that you might have to hack code for it to work with
another library of several functions (or even your own code base).
Just a little bit messy and something you have to do everytime the
library gets released.
This is a problem which is often extremely hard to find in a language
like rebol. in compiled language, the compiler would flag a message
telling you that the word is already defined...
I might well post the scripts themselves in rebol tech, Where they are
posted, I don't really mind, they could also be scatered through the net
with the framework site just linking to them. But then others might
flush them at any time or the site goes down, he stops workling on the
tool and deletes his account, we have no control over that, not even
rebol.
People can post their code at more than one place too. Its just that
this library framework, is guaranteed to work together, to be documented
and maybe even be supported, it is also less aimed at learning and more
at using and working.
Does any remember or knows about the AFCs? It looks a little bit like
what I'd like to maintain.
In time, the actual functions of different authors might become appended
to a single file which contains several tools of the same vein. this is
something I am trying to encourage, making the useage of these tools
easier to handle for the whole community.
what do you (and others) think?
