This would be a much more useful activity that demos that only provide 
eye candy.

Achieve both aims in one go.

I think RDC should be announced on ML as well. But by someone more 
official than me :)

In essence the dashboard could be a custom version of the Rebol Desktop.

It sounds very much to me, or hasn't used Konfabulator etc, that 
is what it is anyway.

There is typo on the Rebol License page (mentioned is one of Carl's 
blogs ....) .... under the section for Rebol IOS , the text says 
Rebol/SDK is not free, rather that Rebol/IOS is not free..

Can the demo be OS specific?

I would vote note.

What means os-specific? Only windows has agg-fonts, which is cool 
for demos. And mac-alpha lacks even timers.

well, there ya go then.

When only windows version of 1.3.2 has font support in AGG, is it 
considered as an OS specific feature? I hope not.

Kru - imo os-specific feature is the one, which will not allow your 
script to run on other platforms without change ...

so - if your script will run under both linux and windows, and just 
windows will look somehow prettier, than it should be tolerated. 
But e.g. OS-X still lacking timers is imo disqulifying OS-X version 
pretty much ...

btw - what is the status of OS-X version? IIRC it was high on priority 
list and it is long time since View was released last time. Is that 
so big problem to not implement timers for OS-X in half a year or 
how long it is since View release? ;-)

Hey, I'll submit this .. WYSIWYG editor for http://squigglz.com
 try editing the ~sandbox~ squiggle.

pekr, ask Jamie :-) He's working on it.

yap, OS X status is frustrating..8(

Terry, cool.

Please offer bigger (taller edit window).


Just so you know. "All Rights Reserved" has no legal meaning...  
so if you are inclined, get rid of it.  IT cleans up the page.

Do we have any rules, or even a deadline more accurate than "early 
january" for the proposed demo competition?

I know Reichart posted a comprehensive set of very sensible answers 
to Carl's questions, but the the blog (or elsewhere) hasn't been 
updated to adopt or adapt his suggestions.

Rules are: one script, max 32kB, must run in View 1.3.2. Deadline 
is Dec 31st 11:59:59 GMT . Dunno if AM or PM...?

probably 1 second before the next year

Kru -- where has that actually been agreed?

All I see is a set of suggestions from Reichart that Carl has commented 
on as being "good"


As far as any non-REBOL3 reader is concerned the rules are in draft 
format, suggest an "early January" deadline, and are still open to 
change via suggestions to Gabriele:
http://www.rebol.net/article/0235.html


It would be very bad X-Internet messaging marketing if a winner was 
announced while some people were not aware the contest had even started.


A fair deadline would be one month from the official announcement 
of the competition. That hasn't happened yet and as far as I know, 
it was never Carl's intention to limit entry to REBOL3 participants.

guess it will be good for a 'Valentines Challenge' rahter than a 
year end challenge

A REBOL lovers'  date :-)


rebolek seems to have announced the competition using Reichart's 
suggestions:

http://rebolek.blogspot.com/2005/12/rebol-demo-contest-great-rdc-2005.html

But that seems to me to be premature given that Gabriele or Carl 
have not codified the rules or made an official announcement that 
the competition has started.

heh sunanda you found my blog? :) I've never linked it anywhere, 
because I'm still just testing it :) so I won't call that "official" 
announcement. Anyway, today is Wednesday, the Q&A day, so we can 
ask in RT Q&A group about RDC status.

IIRC its in technoraty. :)

I used http://blogsearch.google.com/-- searched for REBOL and sorted 
by date to see the most recent.

I should be more careful then ;))

i think that the deadline is more likely to be Jan, 10

i assume that the details will be made available very soon.

Deadline moved? So my sleepless nights were unnecessary? Aargh ;o)) 
But OTOH I was afraid I can't finish it till 31-12 so why not. I'm 
eager about more details. :)

If you're already feeling anxious, Kru, more time just makes it worse 
! :)

you're so right, Anton :)

Thanks for the clarification, Gabriele.

Nothing wrong with getting a head start, Kru.....But until we know 
the actual entry conditions we run the risk of producing something 
that won't be eligible (maybe that 32k size limit will really be 
2k for example)

GRaham said ->
http://www.compkarori.com/emr/


A free multi-user electronic medical records system - based upon 
Rebol, RebGUI, BEER, ComLib, LaTeX, Firebird etc .. currenlty in 
beta test.  This is the first release of the server exe.

shadwolf ->


can some  screenshots of the main points of the client interface 
can be added to the  website i think this will be a good promotion 
for rebgui and emr ^^

Can do once I get some time.

surprising unique/skip - kind of make-object for blocks. usefull 
in this cases:
!>>templ: ["a" 1] 
== ["a" 1]
!>>union/skip ["a" 2 "b" 2] templ 2
== ["a" 2 "b" 2]
!>>union/skip ["b" 2] templ 2      
== ["b" 2 "a" 1]

digicamsoft:  Mmm.. is that a picture of Michael Jackson on the front 
?

Not bad website, clean and simple.

Thanks for the website, but still more to come; no it's not Jackson!

A feature I did in PhotosReViewer is to copy/paste between multiple 
instances; I like it, it's very convenient to sort. Many other things 
have been impoved, but not necessary visible.

Not a bad idea.

Very nice Gabriele. Is there any documentation on sys port?

nothing new, this is based on the old examples of systray usage. 
we use the systray in the detective too.

Simetrics: Great piece of work, Francois, and nicely documented too.

As you know, REBOL.org has been using it internally to offer alternatives 
for mistyped script names, eg:

http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/view-script.r?script=binladen

Joe <why not a forum here on altme ?> Forums have the advantage of 
immediacy, but they are hard to keep track of or to find again after 
a few months [Can anyone *easily* retreive info from the defunct 
REBOL and REBOL2 worlds?]

The REBOL.org script discussion feature is a little-used but useful 
way of holding a highly focussed discussion (about one script) that 
will be easy to find again in the future.

It's worth experimenting with both [Altme groups and REBOL.org discussioon] 
to find the natural home for specific discussions.

Sunanda, i agree with you about the discussion forum on rebol org 
and it should be more used.

Sunanda: I can convert those older worlds to html if you would like 
?

Alan, nice idea -- it would make the content more widely available 
again.

But there may be a problem....Those worlds were set up as private, 
and there was nothing in the joining conditions that said the content 
would be made available more widely.

With this world, we have the convention of marking groups as [web-public] 
or not, but the older worlds have no such convention.

So it would be very difficult to contact the original posters and 
get all their agreement.

Could that be a script everyone can run locally?

Volker:if you mean the script to run locally-yes-I was wriiten by 
Didier and should be in the library.I guess an option would be for 
me to convert the groups to html-send to rebol.org-and then have 
the posters what they want.Only problem with that is some are no 
longer here.Just looked in the library and did not find his script.If 
you want,send me a private message and will send
