You can basically edit each AGG canvas graphic element directly from 
the canvas using the mouse, this includes dragging, reordering and 
a pop up menu which is stroke contextual  :-)  have fun

I thought I'd put a direct link to start the app (works in view 1.3.2 
& 2.7.x) :


do read http://www.pointillistic.com/open-REBOL/moa/steel/retools/download/regraph.r

nice demo

Yes, really great

Nice work Maxim

Maxim, it looks like things are really coming together for you. Very 
nice.

I've uploaded version 0.0.9 of TOOLBAR. You can read about it at 
http://hmkdesign.dk/rebol/in the two latest blog posts, where I 
also highlight a bug in REBOL/View that causes a crash because of 
TOOLBAR.

!Liquid release v0.6.4

The REBOL week published,  http://rebolweek.blogspot.com


for those who forget that the REBOL community has its own newsfeed.... 
feel free to ask for any article you wish to publish on the rebolweek 
group here.  If it relates to REBOL, we'll be happy to help and raise 
awareness!

liquidator, teaser  here is a quick snapshot of the culmination of 
years of work, finally coming together.


using the same (evolving and improving) core engine as the regraph 
tech demo, I am now attacking the IDE for dataflow application development. 
 FINALLY.  Also note that this is built over liquid which is a full 
featured, lazy computing, dynamically reconfigurable dataflow engine. 
 also note that all internals of the nodes (processing and gui views) 
are built using liquid itself, so it will be possible to apply your 
own connections within the internals of the application itself ! 

Expect first working demos within a few weeks.


First picture out of the lab:  this is basically a generic "Add" 
node being instanced 4 times, note that each plug can stick out at 
any angle and that the node type label is already neatly aligned 
in the center of the node's core at the center.

 all lines and plugs stay connected whatever you drag around (plug 
or node)

A working script (send-gmail.r) that sends secure mail to gmail using 
gmail's smtp server, and a nearly working prot-esmtps (esmtps ) that 
you can use to send mail using a modified send version.

http://202.78.147.203/Rebol_Scripts

Although the esmtps protocol gives an error, the mail is still sent.

REMARK HAS NOW FINALLY BEEN RELEASED ON THE STEEL WEB SITE


REMARK is a robust web site building tool which allows you to construct 
your own custom tags using rebol values and dialecting.

The main difference of remark with other tools of its kind, is that 
the web pages do not contain code, they contain data or parameters 
to your custom tags.  Remark also persistently reparses tags until 
no more custom tags exist in the dialected tags you create. this 
means you can actually build up your pages with custom which use 
custom tags themselves... talk about leverage! 


at version 1.3.5 it support multiple site configs, ftp dumping, site 
specific configuration, and the very flexible remark engine itself. 


Creating tags is trivial and for simple templating, you don't even 
need to know how to code in rebol... just html content within stored 
files can be nested within your site's pages and will be included, 
by simply adding a tag which is called like the stored html.


Using differently named source file extensions you can even decide 
to parse the content differently, so that you can create different 
page templates or one can even decide to create a make-doc handler 
for example (its not included by default, just possible if you need 
it).


you can check-out the FULL documentation, including tutorial, example 
site, reference page and guides on adding new tags and templates.

Introducing QuarterMaster: Yet Another Web Framework that I'm probably 
going to have to take time to document properly: http://www.ross-gill.com/QM/


In short, it is designed around the MVC pattern.  It is open source 
(license tbd).  Tries to be lightweight, but could use some work. 
 Tries to be as thin a wrapper to Rebol (/Core, /Base, whatever) 
while providing key functions for creating web sites/applications. 
 Includes a flat-file dbms out the box, which generally works.  Currently 
coded to work with Apache (needs mod-rewrite and 'request-uri' env 
variable), but should eventually be httpd agnostic.  Please try, 
please test.  I will answer all and every question (within reason). 
 All suggestions considered with an open mind...

Group: !QM

I created a new project in Qtask called "IT Think Tank"
The goal is to invite people that like fiddling with Servers.

I realized that I know a lot of people that do this, and they all 
have the same issues, so they might as well share knowledge.


If you would like to be invited to this project, shoot me a private 
message.


The advantage of a group here on Qtask over - lets say - some forum 
on the web is:


-	Knowing each other, or being only one degree of separation tends 
to mean one feels more comfortable asking deeper questions.

-	Being more than a Forum, people can share files, build Qwikis of 
common issues, etc.
-	The people I know tend to be a "click above."

Ever wanted well behaved dates and times, padded with leading zeroes? 
 Check out form-date.r

in the rebol.org library.  It just went in.  Closely compatible with 
strftime.  Thanks to Chris.

Using QM with Cheyenne -- instructions now included in the documentation:
http://www.ross-gill.com/QM/introduction.html


All mod-QM should do is intercept 404s and redirect the request to 
QM.  I don't think this affects existing setups (please tell me if 
I'm wrong).  QM 404s by default are handled in files://system/views/errors/notfound.rsp

AS A TEASER FOR DEVCON... HERE IS THE FIRST EVER PUBLIC SCREEN SHOT 
OF ELIXIR !


http://www.pointillistic.com/open-REBOL/moa/steel/elixir/elixir_0_3_5.png

A new Cheyenne website just unparked.   http://peoplecards.caIt's 
in a state of flux

today, but it's unparked, so I could start real-world testing.  Many 
changes to come
over the next few hours.

After much consideration, we've decided provide a dual license for 
Redwerks technologies similar to MySQL's licensing policy..  

If you are developing and distributing open source applications under 
the GPL License, then you are free to use Redwerks Inc. software 
under the GPL License


For OEMs, ISVs, and VARs who distribute Redwerks with their products, 
and do not license and distribute their source code under the GPL, 
Redwerks Inc. provides a flexible OEM Commercial License.


The dual - license will apply to the following Redwerks Inc.  technologies

Eco  - Our Semantic Network DBMS
Framewerks- our website creation middleware built on Eco
LFReD - our natual language intelligent agent


For more information on this, and how it relates to Rebol, check 
out the Redwerks group.

http://www.fm.tul.cz/~ladislav/rebol/BEER-SDK.zipis a place where 
you can download the BEER1 SDK

First of our proposed source releases..  Rash 1.1  -- Now GPL

(Windows binary.. will post the Rebol source as soon as I find it 
;)


Rash is a Rebol / Flash Hybrid Personal Agent using some early Natural 
Language Processing prototypes

The technology has grown since this application, and is being incorporated 
into Framewerks, but it's a fun introduction.

I'll post an old description of what it does in the Redwerks group


Download here..  See the Redwerks group for instructions.. or posting 
questions.

Source code for the HAL 4000 (windows) now available..

The HAL 4000 is an earlier prototype to RASH..  doesn't rely on Flash

The formation of the International REBOL User Association...Open 
Invitation

26th of May, 2007, 20:00 UTC.  

First Meeting is about to be called to order in the new IRUA forum.

This forum is for formal IRUA messaging only.  IRUA Chat has also 
been created for

informal discussions.  The name is going to change.  Please see the 
agenda and motions
linked below.

Rebrings updated - same download place.

Hokus Pokus!

This is a little fun script, I'm working on, that actually may be 
useful for someone. It can change something into something else. 
First version could transform bitset! back to it's original string!, 
then I added conversion between issue! and tuple!. Now it can also 
translate between many human languages, like in this example:

>> do http://www.fys.ku.dk/~niclasen/rebol/hokus-pokus.r
>> hokus-pokus/translate "Hello, how are you?" "en2es"
== "ÀHola, c—mo eres?"


Using the /translate refinement, and the extra argument can be any 
of:
ar2en

, "zh2en", "zh-CN2zh-TW", "zh-TW2zh-CN", "en2ar", "en2zh-CN", "en2zh-TW", 
"en2fr", "en2de", "en2it", "en2ja", "en2ko", "en2pt", "en2ru", "en2es", 
"fr2en", "fr2de", "de2en", "de2fr", "it2en", "ja2en", "ko2en", "pt2en", 
"ru2en", "es2en"

translating between languages like Arabic, English, Chinese, French, 
German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish. 
 Yeah, it's a real Transmogrifier. Have fun!

(It may be hard to type in many of these languages with current REBOL, 
I don't know! :-))

RebRings updated with better default pattern solution - http://rebol.mustard.co.nz/rebrings.r

RebRings Mini now available!  two-thirds the pain of RebRings ;-)
