Wolfie: Its strange because I often agree with the "essense" of what 
you are saying, but the way you stuff and the anger in your tone, 
always means I just skip all the posts.

rebol.org is run mostly by ONE VOLUNTEER.  free, with hundreds of 
scripts, with thousands of features to support.  Adding a script 
to rebol.org doesn't *require* the full library header anymore.

I wonder how many hundred hours went into that huge site.   


I'm sorry if it took you one hour to write down 5 lines of text, 
but It doesn't take me that long.  I agree its not optimal, but the 
help page is simple and conscice.

like just about everything going on with the REBOL language and its 
community... right now...


 if you want to participate and actually DO something, (I mean doing 
 something else than bitch and moan), people will be happy for your 
 help, even Sunanda at rebol.org.


I used to be part of rebol.org team and it took me a single mail 
from me to get included in the team.  it might take a bit more from 
you now that you've just insulted its main (sole?) author pretty 
harshly.

I'm sure we would all like to see many rebol resources improved, 
including rebol.org. When someone suggests specific enhancements 
or offers help, they are generally received with open arms.

maxim that's too easy to say that sunanda runs the things alone and 
that's the reason why rebol.org sucks ... when did sunanda call for 
help never ... when did he try to motivate people hating his website 
like me to participate. Last things my remarks about rebol.org are 
common sense. And they were made vastly in 2005 when it opens and 
when people style gived a damn. 6 years later rebol means nothing 
NOTHING it's lower than scrub and the recursive lack of work her 
killed rebol and any  initiative around it. Not only each time something 
cool is done in this community  Carl comes with a great announcement 
to ruin the effort but the  promise he makes never come to a reality.

If you can get the people that hates you to wrok with you to improve 
things then you are setting up a positive motion and that's what 
you all need here

you need direction. This means setting up priorities in things that 
need to change now. rebol.org since it's the central point of our 
very very veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery small 
community (we are less than 50 active people guys wake up ) then 
renoving it and upgrading it constantly is part of the main priorities; 
like supporting a console and R3/GUI and a new r3/web plugin and 
a new R3/desktop because desktop is related to rebol.org it makes 
 sense to serriously work on it.

well, just talk about it with him and surely, if you have the time 
he may let you help him.   you can already re-skin the site to make 
it look better.  I just don't have the time nowadays.

problems ?

seems to be working for me... in what section are you?

Thanks for the problem report...... There is nothing showing on the 
Library error logs.....Have you got a failing URL?

Sorry! LDS error: 400 0 can't connect
Request: get-script
Parameters: rebtut-indexer.r

I am trying to refresh my local script library.

You've probably triggered flood protection.....Leave it five minutes 
and see if it forgives you.

Downloading 169 scripts.

sooner than later, it fails. So I have to download all?

Okay....that's a problem.....the downloader does not pace itself, 
so it triggers flood protection.


Best current work-around is to download the whole set as one file 
-- probably faster too:
   http://www.rebol.org/download-librarian.r

Let me take you off the flood trigger list first.....

no need for hurry

You should be good now......but using the updater to download 169+ 
scripts wlll trigger the problem again.

(Another quick fix is to edit the script to put a wait 10 between 
each read of the library)

That does not help. Even after downloading the library and installing 
in the same folders, the librarian still tries to download 169+ scripts

after updating refresh-sync-point.txt with an actual timestamp it 
works now

That's good to know.
Thanks!

thanks too

I have uploaded a new version of simple-test.r to the Script Library. 
The main changes were the addtion of some new assertions and a re-structuring 
of the code to provide an API for the function which evaluates test 
cases.


The assertions added are : equal with tolerance, not equal, not error, 
same, and not same.
