Hi Petr,

Well, yes and no. Yes, because you can do most of the basic things
that you get with IOS with a wiki too. No, because an HTML page is
in no way close to the power of a reblet. :-)

Because you can't hope to conquer the world in one step. ;-)
(Also, the main point I was making is the opportunities we get in
rapid application development, and easy and rapid application
maintenance. Instead of programming, you describe: the whole point
of REBOL probably.)
PK> Does it enable cooperation?
It does, in the same way the web does. IOS's surely much better in
this regard, but it also depends on what you're doing.

Just a couple minutes for me, on Linux with Apache.

It's a dynamic hypertext.
It's that short enough? ;-)
(Basically you let visitors add or modify the nodes of the
hypertext, as well as add or modify links between nodes; Vanilla
also allows to decide who is able to modify what, and tells you
who has modified what, and other nice things...)
Regards,
Gabriele.
