REBOL Wikibook
[1/6] from: henrik::webz::dk at: 1-Sep-2005 20:59
Hi, all
There have been a lot of debate on AltME how to make better
documentation for REBOL. Some want beginners tutorials, others want
advanced tutorials and some want full books.
Here's my take: I made a REBOL entry at Wikibooks to form a good book
on REBOL programming.
A Wikibook has the following advantages:
- Anyone can edit it. That includes YOU. No registration is needed
(but is a good idea for larger submissions).
- Free hosting
- High level of exposure to REBOL
It might be best to do this first at an entry level.
I don't have a big plan for it, but this could turn out to be a good
thing to take advantage of as we are sorely lacking in certain areas
for documentation.
I made a primitive skeleton here:

Very cool Henrik!
It looks nicer than a lot of other Wiki things I've seen (I'm not a
big Wiki fan generally).

Great work of exceptional quality. Text is sharp and useful. Illustrations are very informative
and really help understanding the
evaluation of REBOL expressions and flow of values between expressions. Your work is
rapidly becoming the tutorial of choice to
newcomers.
I submitted 2 small modifications, one about the Console Help the other about the Console
History.
Please verify if it is acceptable to you as is or no. I simply added more precision to
your history mechanism description and a
couple of small examples about using the HELP command (?).
Keep up the good work,
Gerard

I must add my appreciation to that of Gerard's. Like Gerard, I just
had to add something. In my case, I added to the literal series
section, and Henrik, I would invite you (or anyone else) to amend or
change my editing for readability as is this is the first time I've
ever used a wiki.
Keep up the good work! Let's make this a great place for newbies to
come to.
:-) And I'm a permanent newbie when it comes to rebol

That's perfectly fine. If there is an error, it will be corrected.
One of the advantages of the Wiki is that you can be a crappy writer,
but someone will eventually correct it.
Please keep contributing...
