World: r3wp

If we could have R3 modules feature available for R2, that would 
make the waiting for R3 easier...

BrianH: what has failed? :-) So far AltME worked - discussions, sharing, 
everything worked. Even r3-alpha as released one year ago did not 
cause any disaster. So - what actually failed? I have to be missing 
something ...

You might have noticed the creation of the GUI world, even though 
we already had an alpha world, and the tiny number of people who 
were invited to the GUI world, especially at first. For that matter 
remember the creation of the alpha world in the first place. These 
events happened because AltME failed as a medium for development 
discussions.


AltME lacks the moderation and organization facilities of RebDev. 
If there are more than several people in a world communications break 
down. One troll and the process grinds to a halt. If AltME was good 
enough, R3 development discussions would be happening *here*, instead 
of talk about religion and politics.

I prove all too often the failure of the ALTME moderation controls 
;-)

You can delete messages or move them to other topics in RebDev, if 
you have the rank. You can even make subcategories.

Don't worry: Abusing rank is the quickest way to lose it :)

I don't know, our governor is still in charge.  ;-)

In RebDev, not Illinois :(

hehe

For all who are so much interested that cannot wait:

(with downloads link inside)

uh... the old LSD dates are back with the blue on red colors:)

For these who don't want to read and just download it now... http://www.rebol.net/wiki/R3_Releases

Cool, thanks Oldes.

LSD?

Paul first ;-)

i posted the info on french BBS too

hehe

For those of you who don't want to read the release notes and warnings, 
don't bother downloading R3 - it's too different for you :)

For those of you who scoff at  Brian's opinion, download R3 - ;-)

I'm kicking ties as we speak.

Yup! R3 chat is the best place to scoff at me opinion - just ask 
Steeve :)

me -> my

ok, first off - regarding the documentation.  The wiki should be 
updated so that the search field on the wiki site works with REBOL 
commands.

I would like to type in the wiki search field a command such as "what" 
and get extensive help on that function.  That possible?

Or put a new search field in just for commands.

The wiki should be updated with a newer version of wikimedia - we 
didn't write it.

sure, update the wiki yourself Paul :-)

Yeah I understand that.

I'm not versed in the Wiki and in fact I don't like the design myself 
but that is just me.

The best place for that kind of search function is as parameters 
to the DOCS function in R3.

yeah that would be perfect Brian.

We have a similar function in R3 for errors already: WHY?

Yeah I noticed that one.

I had an error actually but it didn't return any info on it.  But 
did take me to the page on the wiki to tell me that it didn't have 
any info on it.  ;-)

If you don't read the docs and chat, it doesn't take long to notice 
the WHY? function :)

Paul, if you throw to much why?, your rank will be lowered in the 
chat by Brian

Hehe.  I won't be acting like I do here in this world in rebdev.

I didn't here until the development team pretty much moved to other 
mediums and this then became a playground.

Um, no, that won't happen. That is one of those abuse-of-power things 
I was talking about. If I didn't like people to disagree with me 
I wouldn't have given Steeve the URL to R3 to get him testing :)

How do I define a utype?

Also does R3 include REBCODE?

A1: You wait until we have that feature. A2: Not yet, not ever in 
a compatible way.

hmmmm. ok.

I see it has functions for rebcode.

perhaps we should prevent people to not enter in some headings because 
it must remain a lot of blood on the walls when I fought with Brian

Fighting with Brian is good for ya.  ;-)   It makes us wiser.

I agree. The results of those fights either let to bug reports, feature 
requests, or valuable documentation (object lessons).

If you want to get really angry you can post private chat right in 
the topics.

Yeah was looking at the chat but it is a bit cumbersome.  The web 
version looks more useful for reading.

why include other functions if they don't work? such as to-rebcode?
