what does SIG stands for>?

timers and multitasking any news about that ?

Special Interest Group.  Sorry about that TLA.

Gab just finished.  And the talk today is done.

But tomorrow, we will be back on.  For those that are on.

probably on..to catch your presentation

ok, thank you very much Reichard, it is really a good service you 
are doing here for those unlucky, who could not attend for whatever 
reason!

but u won't be here to 'relay'

thanks Reichart...

I wish you had the feed,  it is a real shame this is so hard to make 
happen!

yes many thanks

I talk REALLY fast, it is probably best to allow people to record, 
and look at it later.

Now someone could at least confirm, if rich text and rebcode are 
already done and will be in rebol?

Thanks to the Baron !

I even talk fast for myself, when I watch tapes of me, I realize 
how fast.  But in my head everything is really slow.

yes.. that is why it is best to communicate with you via AltMe...than 
maybe the phone or in person ..

I need the reason to drink some whiskey at the evening, to celebrate 
something - so gimme some concrete news :-)

Pekr, build me a clear list of your questions, and I will ask them 
all here.

Is this one of your questions "Now someone could at least confirm, 
if rich text and rebcode are already done and will be in rebol?"

o_0 cheers

R, I'd really like to see a snippet of code

I got good news. GAbriele is working on contract :)

guess this is the official announcement on Gab's contract.


though..if one notices...sometimes Gab uses his rebol email in the 
ML

Yes, but i was not sure if that means as volunteer or real contract. 
This sounds as if Carl can pay people.

And if he gets Cyphre and Gab full time and one or two others, this 
announcement look a lot more realistic to me :)

I just saying there is some work they have done/.

They also do work for me.

Sorry if i extrapolated to much. just a little bit euphoric :)

We have also brought in more programmers that are programming Rebol 
full time.  They will be posting here soon.

that is a new news

These are guys I have worked with for a long time that are now loving 
Rebol, and writing a lot of code.

people from here, the comunity ?

Reichart, there is a whole bunch of pple under Rebol SIG in QTask, 
....

are a lot of them working on QTask etc?

yes Reichart - I simply wanted to hear something concrete, but OK, 
here comes the list, out of my head:


1) Will rich text and rebcode became part of all rebol distributions 
from now on?

2) we heard answer for async kernel in regards to LNS - some time 
ago Carl mentioned proper tasking or even timers could be added - 
is that anyhow realistic?

3) I realised VitalNeeds removed all Rebol related info from their 
website - is the partnership lost?
4) what will be the next focus of RT?

5) there was some talk about "rebuilding the team" - will RT employ/contract 
more developers?

6) some time ago Carl talked about opening some of rebol code - parts 
of View, console etc - will that happen? Part of that plan was "Rebol 
as a library" IIRC - is that concept still valid? What happened to 
/Platform vision? I was not present last year at Devcon, but my understanding 
was, that /Platform is about modularisation, language plug-ins were 
planned too ...

7) not to mention BCD, rebin, RIF, of which only RIF was mentioned.

8) RAMBO is cool - but what about shared roadmap? I was contacted 
privately by one former Rebol developer, who felt Rebol plays on 
elite and that not knowing what is the plan for what product is really 
badly frustrating. Will RT create more SIGs, to fasten developments 
in certain areas? I talk about kernel areas, which general rebol 
user can not affect and waiting for enhancements can take years. 
Some ppl are already crying for better sound (if we want to use rebol 
for video-over-web for eg.)

9) We heard about spreading rebol x-times. What is RT's vision of 
how to achieve this? Such claims should be supported by some more 
concrete plan? Is still outer world (development companies) interested 
in Rebol, so maybe more of VitalNeeds partnerships could come?
10) What is Carl's preferred drink? :-)


Thank you very much, sorry if some questions sound strange, they 
were put on "paper" as fast as I could type on my notebook. Enjoy 
the community in Treviglio, guys!

oh of course you're done now that I'm back. grumble. :-)

:-)

OK, will get these all answered.

Give me some time :)

thanks - I hope those are not just mine questions but that others 
will welcome answers too ...

/me is going home - enough of work for today :-)

one question about those REBOL people: Have they not been in here 
because of NDA contracts or what?

in here = in our little AltME world

happy AM !

I'm working on the next killer app.. bit premature to announce, but 
it has 'wiki' in the title. ;)

wrashiki? :)

what is killer on wiki?

speaks and talks about its contents i guess.

It involves RASH .. as embedded widgets.

Anyone skyping?  I've got a new headset and haven't used skype for 
a while, so not sure if I'm setup correctly. Waiting for gabriele 
to approve me.

i've got a new headset too, but I want some AltMe news!
