I think, in a way, we (the Rebol community), still believes the "a 
small group of guys can make a big difference" mentality. The "world" 
thinks that only a large company can compete.

Reichart would know that, for example, that nowadays it seems to 
take big bucks to make a game. Again, I believe that's a mindset.

and dont forget propaganda !

Yes, propaganda. MS has adopted the IBM "Nobody ever got fired for 
buying IBM" tactic. Very successfully I might add.

Services?

referring to LNS?

[1579x3]
It will support custom servers, and there will be a public server 
that everyone can use to search for Reb Services.  For example, if 
someone offers a service like World Time, then you can search for 
this, and then start using this service.
Reb services.
Since I may have missed something, what is LNS?

Lightweight Network Services , IIRC
RT's product for RebServices

Ok.
Last chance for any direct questions of Gab?
I should mention, Gab wrote this, and Rchard and Gab have been working 
with Rebol on a contract basis.
For specific focused features.

haha, one other person, who does not actually remember what the abbreviation 
means :-) Maybe a good signal to change it. Most of us will refer 
to it as a rebservices anyway :-)
Q: will async kernel be back?

On sec.
Carl's goal was to move it over,  but things got mixed up.  Some 
people had problems building handlers, since there is not critical 
management section.  So inside an asynch hander yo uput a print command, 
and it gets changed by other parts of the system.  So it made it 
too complex.
So for now the solution is to bring it back...even soon, but he wants 
to solve these things first.
He is going to open to talk with everyone.

OK, thanks ... when adding async back, we might actually add some 
thread or tasking support :-)
Benjamin
