Thank guys

Ammon -- control panel  --- can you do a mockup to show what you 
are thinking?

Banner text -- this is a good place for that dicsussion.....REBOL.org 
could publish the winners and use one/some of them to replace the 
existing banner tex.

I've just oploaded my first 2 scripts to the library. rebxml2xml.r 
and xml2rebxml.r
I hope, I've done it correctly.

Looks good to me, thanks.

Though one oddity -- unlikely not your problem....They don't display 
in colour:

http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/view-script.r?color=yes&script=xml2rebxml.r

....Must be crashing Carl's color-code.r that we use to do the coloring, 
so we fall back to b&w. I'll take a closer look in a day ot two.

How about we have a no-cache directive to stop ISPs caching the scripts 
for the download page - so we are sure to get the latest one?

- the other way to do it, is to stick in a dummy cgi-bin in the path 
.. which also tells the cache not to cache it

Problem is that the download page *is* a static URL if you go to 
it directly, eg,
    http://www.rebol.org/library/scripts-download/menu-system.r

But of you click the "download script" link while viewing a script, 
you do go via a dynamic URL -- it creates the static one for you 
and then redirects, eg

http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/download-a-script.r?script-name=menu-system.r


{What we should do is update the static file whenever a script is 
added or updated. That would fix most instances of this....I'll put 
that on the list, thanks]

Now that 1.3 is out, perhaps all of us who have scripts in the library 
should take the time to check them for compatibility, and update 
them if required.

Yes! Please do!

I would wait for some other platforms release. Just Win actually 
:-\

I'm chasing some old scripts from Frank Sievertsen, does anyone have 
the following

[lego.r  math-do.r irc-protocol.r reblog.r] all described here http://www.codeconscious.com/rebol/dialects.html

Also chasing svm.r Simple Virtual Machine which was related to the 
KOSH project

Allen: sent you email with Frank's scripts attached.

Brett: Thank you!

What else do you have Brett of Frank's ?

Some odds and ends all of which can be found here:

Doesn't look like I have svm.r, sorry.

Oh and I have some fx5 styles stored in a backup of an old REBOL/View 
cache that is not on wayback machine.

I've got all these in my public cache:

OK. Shall we rebuild his reb and host it somewhere again. I'm will 
to put this all in an fx5 dir on rebolforces. (until Frank surfaces 
again)

Good idea. I will email you what I have later,

Its alive! Frank-enstein...

Anyone see his dbridge.r and dbridge.java ?

This appears to be the fx5 home page .. but all the links for the 
plugins are broken.

http://www.dchen.de/

OK. Just a quick place holder with the scripts I've got so far http://www.rebolforces.com/fx5/

does anyone know of any site indexer or search engine script written 
in rebol or available in rebol.org?

REBOL.org uses an indexer i wrote for another application and adapted 
to the Library. Let me know what you need an indexer for, and I could 
comment on its suitability.

Hallvard must have an indexer too to run Rix: http://www.oops-as.no/rix

Just trimmed about 100 people from the Library membership list....
http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/cpt-view-users.r


A lot of them were drive-by signups by spammers to get their URL 
a link ("Hi I'm Mandy, click my link for photos") And most of *those* 
must have an IQ hovering aound their waist size because they'd failed 
to click the profile option to make their URL visible to other Library 
members.


So the membership list (claiming 200+ members) is more relevant than 
it was before.


But the automated expiry script may have caught some genuine members. 
If your userid has gone and you want it back, please drop me a private 
message.

If I have a script that is based on some source code from within 
rebol (say, on the desktop code), what's the appropriate license, 
when uploading to rebol.org?

Well, the library header 'license seems to only accept one of: bsd 
cc-by cc-by-sa gpl lgpl mit pd public-domain rvd 

And it is needed, but noneof these seems to be acceptable ... I guess 
...

It seems you got the source code .... from, no, I just remember, 
it had once been released, right? But I just extracted the
code from a running rebol. I guess this header seems to be right.

When we added validation for the license field, we limited it to 
licenses that had actually been used by people contributing scripts:
http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/license-help.r


I reckon there are way too many license variants already in the world 
-- it's the bane of the open source movement. (We had a list of over 
40 licenses that people in theory said they'd like to use when contributing 
scripts)

But,. as the note on the page says:

f you'd like to use a license for a contributed script, and you can't 
see it listed above, please send us Feedback.

OK, Feedback .... but I dunno what license I'd like to use ... what 
would you call it?

LPL ?

And note that if you extract the code from a running rebol, you won't 
get the license.  I got the above from the new SDK.
So, that message needs to be included with your script.

Wasn't Carl thinking about a new license at one stage ?

I seem to remember something like that ... but then ... I do remember 
lots of things said ...

Whatever this meens ;-)

Now the desktop source has a different license from the rest of rebol 
code.

Hmm.  Perhaps not.

Looks like the sdk has all changed to the above license.

means, of course

I'm not sure, is the license stated anywhere? I mean, for code extracted 
from the running executable ...

I don't think so ...

There might be a standard copyright somewhere that says you can't 
reverse engineer ...

I got the code from the 1.3.1 executable, so it does not necessarily 
use the same license as the one distributed with the older SDK.

But the current SDK license appears to say that it is now possible 
to publish all the sources on say, rebol.org ...

I guess it should be ... there are a lot of patches to the code on 
rebol.org, which maybe we should check the licenses on them.

So, time to ask Sunanda if we should now do that.

I don't know (or care) much about licenses -- generally speaking 
after I've written some code and it's been sold or given away,  I 
never want to see it again.....So I'm not the best person to ask.


Carl did offer the "rebol desktop license" which may be what you 
want. Some info starting here
