World: r3wp

Yep,  I hope this ruling puts the kibosh on the possiblity of hardware 
manufacturers being forced to sign non-disclosure agreements if they 
want drivers to function on Windows with DRM.  GNU/Linux would quickly 
start to lose out if that happens en masse.  Today is a good news 
day in my biased and perhaps  naive opinion.

IBM offers up Lotus Symphony
http://symphony.lotus.com/software/lotus/symphony/home.jspa

Actually it's OpenOffice - IBM's version

I wondered...so that's what they get for donating 35 coders... a 
little bit of press and some branding.  :)

I downloaded IBM Lotus Symphony yesterday, I am using it now. So 
far, I don't like it.

Great ajax grid http://www.turboajax.com/products/turbogrid/index.html

jerry, just from the screenshots, it does not look particularly impressive.

Henrik, you're right. And not just that, the performance is not good, 
because of Java. The download size is 150MB, and the installation 
size is 300+ MB. Why does IBM make everything dull and huge? We should 
make an Rebol Office, I mean it. After REBOL/View system has been 
improved in R3, this is not impossible.

This seems interesting...  Lina Software released the source code 
for LINA under the GPL v2. LINA enables Linux binaries to run with 
native look and feel on Windows, Mac, and Linux, without recompiling.

Interesting comparison of Open Office Writer and Microsoft Word 2007 
- http://www.linux.com/feature/118986


I thought Writer couldn't be compared to Word, but now I try to download 
Open Office to judge myself ....

nice and interesting machine.

For those of you who want StarOffice 8 but dont want to pay the $70

WebRunner -

WebRunner is a simple XULRunner based browser that hosts web applications 
without the normal web browser user interface. WebRunner is based 
on a concept called Site Specific Browsers (SSB). An SSB is an application 
with an embedded browser designed to work exclusively with a single 
web application.

Nice article. REBOL would fit in, teaching children VID :-)

finally

new site of Qtask - http://www.qtask.com/index.php- congratulation!

And it only costs user.r members $75 / month.

... each

Thta's a bargain at the current euro-$ exchange rate ;-)

:-)

Pekr, Where is rebol in this product? Is it in form of CGI, RSP ?

whole backend is said being coded in rebol ...

http://www.qtask.com/industry/faq.php

So the interface is all html and java script (traditional tools, 
AJAX too) and rebol is used on the server.

That's an impressive list of  services as well.

Terry;  I'm not sure of future plans, but no.  user.r was gifted 
the space and invites to members will remain at zero cost (until 
I'm told otherwise - again I'm not in on their business planning. 
The offer from Qtask was a gift).  So it's more like membership with 
user.r on Qtask is like getting a $75 a month bonus.   As a matter 
of fact, I want to move the current user.r Chat PITL project to Qtask 
sometime this weekend.  You can't beat Qtask for project management. 
  And being the friendly fence sitter...you can't really beat kommonwealth 
for the 'fun social side' that user.r should also portrait.  Both 
sites are suffering neglect right now, but that will change.
