GREAT!
At least someone ;-) So many folks here and so few of interest for discussing the
topic. Maybe if more ppl would be interested in REBOL promotion, we could start
separate ml?
I already reported REBOL news to Czech Amiga News - some 1500 readers daily. I also
contacted four sites today asking them for possibility of the review.
Everyone can help, as everyone of us knows some interesting computer related site.
The question is - if we should/shouldn't coordinate the effort?
As for me personally - I will continue - I will also cover local computing media and
introduce REBOL to them....
We all knows how the world works - no REBOL coverage = no interest in REBOL = no
money for RT = no REBOL at all ;-)
So folks - we all use that great tool called REBOL and are enjoying making our lives
easier, while lazy enough in helping Carl & co spread the word? ;-)
Cheers,

Good Idea ... we should spread the word ... I first found out about REBOL on the Perl
Mailing List.
So get to work everyone and plant the seeds.

Hi all,
I'm IN. Take a look at REBOLBrasil (www.rebolbrasil.com) .If you can read
Portuguese and you'll see my efforts to spread REBOL culture all over Brazil
and other countries that speaks Portuguese.
The site is pretty new - one week at most - but I've already added it's URL
at major search engines in Brazil.
I hope they publish it. :-)
Also I have created a group at e-groups.com to discuss REBOL in our idiom.
Again everyone's invited! [rebolbrasil-subscribe--egroups--com]
Greetings

Hi:
Another thought:
Rebol is an ideal first language for students: I am contracted to
a local school district for an online course | introduction to programming
using rebol. I will also enlist students for an AI application that
will run online.
Students can be more open-minded to a new programming language
that IT managers.

Great to here my remarks were appreciated. But without marketing REBOL will
have a tough time. Even a good website doesnt get used unless there is
marketing. I appreciate the response.

One response to my efforts to spread the word was "No thanks" due to
them being asked for their email address and other stuff when they
went to download REBOL. As REBOL can be found on CDs and elsewhere
without having to give out such info, perhaps it should be optional
on the REBOL site?

It *IS* optional. Just press the Ok (or whatever) button without filling the
form in.

But it doesn't /say/ it's optional! Newcomers wouldn't know it, and
if they're put off by those kind of questions will just leave - not
play with it to see if they can get to the download page without
entering the info.
As to View, we're not allowed to spread the word anyway because we've
agreed "to keep all information about this release completely
confidential"...
Or does Carl's "I need your help... REBOL needs your help. Now is the
time to go for it. Start working on REBOL view scripts today.
Publish them today on your site or on someone else's site. Tell your
friends about REBOL. Tell your press contacts about REBOL. Get them
helping out." with the launch of View pre-Beta5 over-ride the above?

What kind of actions do you suggest?
Lorenz
[10/10] from: ptretter:charter at: 5-Sep-2000 7:30
My suggestions are this:
1. Find programmers and tell them about REBOL. You will be surprised how
many dont know about this language.
2. There are many occasional programmers that need a script to perform
some form of task. For example, I belong to a Cisco study group and many
network engineers were very interested in REBOL.
3. Join discussion list and subscribe to newsgroups that would be
interested in REBOL discussion but where there is little to no exposure.
4. My areas lately have been in the Perl and Python camps. Many have not
heard of REBOL.
Hope this helps
