[REBOL] [FYI] A new interface paradigm without the usual windows ...

Hi Robert,
Just in case it interests you - and I know it will ;-) ,
I received this article from Inside PC MAgazine and I thought it could be interesting
for a future app. written in REBOL - who knows
???

News: The Anti Interface
Virtually everyone who computes is familiar with the image
metaphors used by Windows and the Macintosh OS for interface
manipulation and navigation. They are the standards most of
us live by. But a new product on the block has an experimental
interface that tosses out the conventions we know and don't
always love. Is this new approach useful? Is it important?
Read our news analysis to find out.

By the way I also visited your web site recently - very interesting look and feel - to
find more about your most recent version of
MAKE DOC PRO. I found in the history that version 1.0.8 is the most recent but I only
found it into the REBOL Library and no DOC was
available on your site either. Is there a particular reason except may be for missing
time ?
During this time I looked to the inside of your engine to know more and I experimented
with some variations like =toc and a few
others. It's working like a breeze. Great work. What I miss the most is how to to indent
paragraphs correctly. My last result left
me perplexed about the way to use it in some circumstances.
In another area did you think about the way to include some META keywords to enclose
into the HEADER section of the generated HTML
page during the generation process. May be some external MDP-prefs.r would be a place
to look at for inclusion of such particular
things.
I also would try your last REBOL FRAMEWORK very soon since I began again to experiment
with coding. Can I get it too and where can I
find it ?
It will be a pleasure to put online my next Web Documentation using your MDP tool. And
when I am about it - can you send me a model
on which I could base my own Web site design - I want it to look similar in some way
to your own - menus and the like...
Keep up the good work Robert.
Hope to be useful in a near future - more than in the past ...
Thanks,
Gerard
