World: r3wp

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!

Gab has skype running as per his mailing list msg.

yes, recently we know very very little. Hopefully Reichart gets back 
with some answers to my above questions at some point ...

Ahh.. seems no one took my suggestion to make mp3 recordings of the 
talks and upload them :(

That would have been really nice to  have.

Can still do it ... from the videos they took.

So how are we going to get the videos, and when?

Weeks Gab has said.

Thanks.

It would have been a good community building exercise to do these 
things - rewards developers by letting them share in the excitement 
of the moment.

you aint kiddin'

But I guess, Rebol developers are particularly used to the concept 
of deferred gratification :(

:)

Offer money next time.

Guys, returning here after some time, I have to say, that current 
DevCon information is nearing a FIASCO, really it is!

Current situation is absolutly hirlarious.

how so, pekr?

Brian - ah well, then you probably know some conrete info, don't 
you?

me, no. I was just wondering how this was becoming a fiasco.

I mean - no public announcements (rebol.com), no rebol community 
announcements (rebol.org), simply nothing concrete ....

rebol.org=rebol.net

Fair enough. i can't argue with that :-)

:-)

rubyconf even usually has several people on IRC relaying the important 
bits.

I should probably wait, but ....it just shows how large/powerfull 
rebol community is ....

... few members, nothing more ....

I'll wait patiently for the archived info to become available.

you have no other option than to actually wait :-)

we all will wait, including me .....
