Rebol Virtual Office project ...
[1/15] from: petr:krenzelok:trz:cz at: 16-Aug-2001 22:41
Hi,
I just today talked to Etienne in RIM conference room, and he told me about
his nice Rebol project. I asked him for few screenshots and ability to post
such screenshots into my gallery. So here we go. I also a little bit adapted
his explanatory email, but hey, I am no html guru, so ...

This is really cool. It makes me envious how expert some of you guys are at
REBOL. I'm an experienced programmer, but I'm finding that it takes some
getting used to... more so than a lot of other languages.

Hi, Petr,
I noticed your mail. That's ok :-))
I will wait and see all rebolers reactions. And, depending of them, perhaps I
will intensify my works, make public the prototype, and, why not, build a new
great project.
So, wait and see ...

How functional is it in its present state? It /looks/ wonderful and
it's a neat concept, even if it might be coverering much the same
ground as Express.

Go for it.

Hi Etienne,
Looks awesome!! Is there any chance of getting that in the English
version? How much are you looking to charge, what is your marketing
scheme??
Thanks!!

I will second that WOW Looks Awesome!
Nice elegant layout and seems modular to the max.
I've been looking for a good Global & Shared Desktop for years!
Your VO's GUI look great.
What stage is the code in?
I can Give you web space / site / download space, assistance etc.

Very cool!
I take it this is the enhanced version of what you showed me a while back
;-) So you managed to fix that problem you had with my dropdown style? (I
guess you had to recode it from scratch, which would have been the best
solution, I'd like to see the fix for that.)

Thank you.

First, I have to say that many widgets I use were developped by ***Nenad
Rakocevic***, known in the list as DocKimbel (congratulations for his job), and
***Allen Kamp*** (for the auto-fill, calendar, drop-down and up-down widgets).
I made some improvements.
secondly, VO is in a very very very pre alpha stage. Lots of functionalities
are frozen because there are some big bugs I have to remove.
To make public the prototype, I must resolve these kinds of thinks - the code is
enough complex :-(

Oh, great. I'm interested in that. Can you take me more infos ?

That's true.

In fact, all your advices where good. The dropdown code was enhanced (a lttle
if I can remember), and I mixed the calendar and dropdown styles to make a
calendar dropdown style.
dropdown style :
----------------------------------
dropdown: text

calendar dropdown style :
Be careful : in the show-caldropdown func, layout is referring to "styles
skins". Skins must contain the calendar widget as you defined it

Yes, but first I want to fix the big bugs, and I have to finish all the
server's part of VO.
>How much are you looking to charge, what is your marketing >scheme??
When I talked yesterday to Petr in RIM conference room, he asked me this kind
of questions. In fact, I developped VO for fun, and to learn Rebol and
Rebol/View. Now, I'm interrested in going further in technical, marketing,
commercial (why not), etc... developments. But, at this time, I never thought
about all this.
So, if anyone has suggestions ...
Cheers,

Thank you.
The more I work on VO, the more I think my work is coming closer to SWIS (in
the meaning of a small, distributed windowing system or window manager).
I'm waiting for your next SWIS version, with all the graphical improvement.

I hope I'll be able to release next version (which is almost completely
rewriten from scratch) in couple of weeks. Still lots of thing to do....but
finally, I have a bit more time for reboling so be prepared ;-)
Anyway, I'm planing to release one simple app (which is using "old" SWIS
api) next week to shorten waiting for the new SWIS...

I know that REBOL wants $900 for the server on Express! I don't currently
recall what they wanted as a price on the workstations, but if I recall
correctly they did want an additional sum per workstation. Which I think is
a little over-priced, but I have no idea how much time they spent developing
it, nor do I know just how many customers they want. & this is all just my
little opinion.
I would like to see it available as a server (i.e. I can buy & place a
server version of on my machine) but I would also like to see it available
as a subscription service for like $5-10, But..
all I can do is say what I would pay.
Enjoy!! HTH.
