well, but was there any re(v)bolution?

Carl has realised his mistake .. better late than never!
it was revolutionary back then ...
now ... who knows
Pekr

[2073x2]
yes, of course. I talked to one friend (who is not in rebol), and 
from external entity pov it seems, that Rebol has no chance, as it 
lost its momentum. It might be true a bit, as even if most parts 
will be open-sourced, it will be interesting to look, if some new 
coders join Rebol community ....
well, probably wrong channel ...

I'll third the second request, (which is now the "0"th) ... Don't 
loose any data!!!
and related subrequests ...

- don't drop me out of whatever I'm reading / writing, just because 
altme lost connection ... who cares? But I DO care, if suddenly the 
unread markings are lost

- If I start typing a message in one channel, then go to a second, 
clear the input field, and remember the message for the channel I 
started typing it, so that I can send it later, when I go back to 
that channel

- if I write a message, but don't have a connection, save it, and 
ask me whether I stil want to send, when the connection comes back 
(with a time threshold, send silently 5 minutes later, but not 5 
days) ( Yes, this is debatable, what if I realize, that I _wanted_ 
to send this to a different channel?
Make the message field resizable (the one I'm just now typing in 
...)
... and I want threading,
btw, on right clicking into a message I get the nice popup "Text 
copied", but no text in the clipboard ,,,

it seems to be working for me.

.... hmm, it worked for me just now, but only once, all the next 
clicks did not change anything ...
Windows XP, Altme 1.2.10

for copying ... highlight text and then use Control-C.
alt-click is unreliable

filters - i wanta softer version which does a rot113  in such cases. 
When i click  3 times  on it, that indicats  i want to read it  really.

Ingo: message field is resizable and I can copy text using right 
click.
Volker

Serious: would  like if  i could type a german word and have it looked 
up  in a dictionary. similar to a spell-checker.
Oldes
26-Jan-2007
[2091]
would like to write czech and see it in correct english or german 
if needed;)
Pekr

[2092x2]
I want keyboard support :-) Few days ago my wireless mouse run dry 
on batteries, I started AltME, and then just smiled :-)
solution - buy new batteries ahead, or don't throw your old ps2/usb 
mouse yet :-)
Volker

[2094]
Complete sentence?  czech would  be impossible. German woudl be hard 
;)

but  writing in english mixed with native words and replace them 
before posting is nice.
Ingo

Oldes: I've tried long ago to resize ... you're right, it works ...

I would like the sugestons applied to altme instead of just  qtask... 
honestly.  at davis sugustions wer solicited brains were picked time 
and effort was spent to give input to inprove altme. but that capital 
was spent on qtask instead.

Tom,  I'm a bit confused about your statement, What is Davis?, and 
what input was used for Qtask instead of AltME?
Tomc
26-Jan-2007
[2098x2]
first rebcon was in Davis Calif.
you solicited and recived input for improving altme that never appeared 
in altme but has appeared in qtask.

Is there a way to see old urgent messages?
Graham
27-Jan-2007
[2103x2]
yes...

OK, it's time again for the twice weekly drive Reichart crazy competition 
to get your favourite bugs fixed ... ;-)

I'll just copy verbatim from one of my last entries ...

Not yet teamwork, but I _can_ be persistant ;-)

I think I'll add this list to the rebolweek blog .. top 10 list of 
Altme peeves :)

[2109]
When you guys have your Top 10, - AND - you all agree to the list, 
then we will attack it : )

aww... is this some kind of democrazy ?
[unknown: 9]
31-Jan-2007
[2113x2]
Yes, and I plan to abuse its shortcoming LOL
The great thing about a democracy is that it disfavours minorities. 
 So you can't get anything done until ALL of you agree.
Tomc

I have sent Graham the 2004 list, there were alot more who cared 
back then ... do we have to get them to agree as well

Sunanda......shhhhhhhhhhhhh, can't make it that clear...
Of, note, when we made the last back then, Carl updated this world, 
and we did indeed lose a bunch of info...
