Rebol2 Docbase changes

 [1/12] from: gchillemi::aliceposta::it at: 4-Feb-2008 19:46


Removed the TOC and added a nice table instead The main page has been splitted into several subpages (those pages needs a lot of work for a better look) Icons are needed for the main page TODO: Rework subpages and tables to accomodate *multiple languages* documentation and articles Any feedback/contribution is appreciated ! Go to http://www.rebol.net/wiki/Rebol2 to see the changes Giuseppe Chillemi

Unless Carl can give out he names of some of the other companies using Rebol, isn't it a little embarrassing that we, at this time, only list three companies in the "Companies using Rebol" list on the wiki page? Would it be suitable for all of the independent developers here to provide their company name inorder to increase the size of the list and also give yourself some free advertising? What is the criteria for the company list? Must you have released a widely used commercial (free or not) application? Or is system maintenance activity scripting also acceptable? I don't think I can personally list my employer as I am the only person in the company using the language and it's used only as a productivity enhancer for my many tedious tasks. Not to mention that they would not endorse their name being associated with the language. Let's get that list to something that will be seen as a positive, not a negative. Cheers, Brock

This is a good point. I have copied the content directly from Rebol Documentation Project site but Carl could be the only source of this information. Also the intent of the pages is to be informative and not promotional but as you suggest with your observation I admit it is a side effect. Remember that REBOL2 wiki page is a collaborative project and it is always a work in progress . If anyone has information on companies using REBOL feel free to add to the table. Thank you for your reply Giuseppe Chillemi

Yes, DocBase has sent me a message about your changes. Thanks ! Also, I have asked directly to Carl to spend 10 minutes and add companies too. If he is not so busy Unicoding I hope he will add more entries Giuseppe Chillemi

My recollection of this topic from the past is that some companies that have used Rebol, maybe it was the IOS product specifically, considered this competitive advantage. Thus they would not have appreciated this being public knowledge. If this is infact true, as I didn't get this comment directly from Carl, this is a little backward thinking and can only hurt Rebol from being adopted or atleast recognized as an alternative in larger companies. Hopefully Carl can share some of Rebols larger corporate users at some point. If not now, hopefully after R3 stabilization. Brock

hi, The way the page is labeled or approached should be changed to allow contractors and professionals to list themselves, or what they are doing with rebol professionally. this way, we can add ourself or someone else, without explicitely naming an employer or even a programmer name, if doing so would go against company policy, or someone wants to retain online annonimity. -MAx On Feb 5, 2008 1:59 PM, Graham Chiu <compkarori-gmail.com> wrote:

Hi Maxim, which changes do you propose, how should this page look ? If you give me a couple of guidelines I'll apply the modification to the page. Giuseppe Chillemi

maybe add a second section in the same page to allow professional developers to list things they are working on, or have done using rebol. in any case, the page could be used to find rebol professionals outside of RT doing commercial work. but it might also make the page look a little bit more filled up. it allows people to write things they've done, without linking it to any company or project. you should also write that the company list is not exclusive due to many companies working under NDA (non-disclosure agreements) and that some of the professionals keep their names and or projects anonymous or vague in order to protect the privacy of their clients or their own online presence. IMHO if people can say that they've done stuff, however suscinctly, at least it shows that rebol IS/HAS been used commercially. a separate question... can anyone get a username on the wiki? -MAx On Feb 6, 2008 4:48 AM, Giuseppe Chillemi <gchillemi-aliceposta.it> wrote:

Added with some notes on the bottom. Look at: http://www.rebol.net/wiki/R2_companies

Shouldn't it be simple ? Go to Login on the upper right and select "Create New Account"... Or is the question different ? :-) Giuseppe Chillemi
