Is there a chance to set up ios-servers, or is that to expensive?

rebol.org is the library site and the mailing list site.  It's not 
an aggregator site.

Must it be rebol-only, or can it be a meeting-place for other languages/topics 
too? Which would be cool in case we do it in rebol.

Agree with Graham. Its more our script-lexicon, not the palace.

And agree with Reichart that such a site would be cool. (Reading 
the "full own server"-part)

I don't know what they can do better, my only point is, don't let 
our inability to find a Rebol solution to a problem stop us from 
finding a solution to the problem.

IOS is great as long as it is an "Open" IOS servers.  Meaning EVERYONE 
is welcome.  I want to see an end to any form of elitism in the Rebol 
community.  It hurts everyone.

Yes, I'm clear on what Rebol.org is, still looks like it was designed 
by the Incarceration committee for the Federal government.


Other languages, SURE.  That only drives traffic.  Although it would 
probably end up being just in the forums.

(Full own server could mean uniserv2 (forgot the real name) and a 
fast vanilla based on that.

We don't have that many people here who have design skills

Graham wins the "first to say something can't be done" award.

Unless they are paid and can spend more time?

thanks.

What's so pizzaz about the ruby site ?

Are you sure you're not just venting ??

We don't design anything, we find a site that already looks great, 
and use it.  Pay homage, as we like to say.

I see IOS more like a quick meeting-place. Want to do something, 
set up new server. Together with web-publishing. Say we have a few 
licenses for some projects.

I agree we should use off the shelf components.

This not invented here thing gets tiresome.

Ruby's site is actually pretty cool, and my fav part is:  Ruby 1.8.4 
released! [2005-12-24] by maki Ruby 1.8.4 has been released. on the 
first line.  It means it is ALIVE, people are posting, stuff is HAPPENING. 
 

How about you help, by finding sites that are even better, as opposed 
to questioning the few sites I found?

And venting does not come with offers to pay for stuff...it does 
not come with solutions.  Lets move forward and MAKE something.

I don't go to non rebol language sites !

How looks vanilla? I like it, by i am no art-guy.

I tried using vanilla for this purpose ... but I'm not a graphics/design 
guy

and vanilla is so sloooooow

Your server had technical problems. First i was reluctant to spawn 
a process, then i forgot a bit about it.

well, it was actually a rebol problem .. I wasn't the only one to 
report hanging daemons.

I heard there is a combination of uniserv and vanilla, which is much 
faster. I guess vanilla runs on a daemon then. by cgi, it scans tons 
of files each time.

And here's another attempt using mediawiki

I know. Sorry for wording.

Wanted topoint out: This is a dedicated box.

I think you're talking about implementation details .. whereas R 
is looking at the overall picture.

I guess we're talking about finding a portal ...

No, wanted to push vanilla a bit. I think you are hit by bad experience.

I'm open to what every one agrees on.  If it works it works, if it 
does not it does not.

well, you can run vanilla .. but someone needs to customise it to 
give it that inviting/live look.

How much load/data etc do you expect?

I hope the original developers are interested. Have seen some different 
looks, if that developers jump in?

Hard to tell.

This is a vanilla site heavily customised by Chris

http://www.ross-gill.com/

I think it needs a news section, a chat section, a download section, 
a place to vote and comment on software.

what about this site http://www.zope.org/

The Web Site for the Zope Community

http://www.compkarori.com/vanillai like the calendar.

(btw in 3 days you can make a 1000days-party :)

hehe

Its possible to run multiple vanillas. Then each project can have 
its own look.

Sharing user-accounts, maybe some way of cross-linking, maybe changing 
the dialects in a more rebol-way.

now, that was a news site ... blog etc... but after a 1000 days, 
not a single news entry except by myself.

so, I'm somewhat pessemistic about a community collaboration on such 
a project.

this is not a problem that can be solved by throwing a server at 
it .. as we already done that.

The best place to look may be the french community?
