I don't claim to be one of the two or three real REBOL
programmers, but I'd be glad to participate in such a
series of discussions. My schedule has been a bit chaotic
lately, so I can't promise immediate turnaround, but would
be glad to contribute as time permits.
I'd suggest keeping it on the mailing list, both to maximize
the list of participants and to maximize the audience. I've
often learned something from seeing an answer to someone else's
question that I hadn't thought to ask.
