shouldn't i be the moderator?

hehe

gabriele is definitely going to be the first werewolf ;)

if he plays   :-D

i won't play, they'd kill me immediately :P

depends if reichart plays too  :-)

lol - yeah on second thoughts pekr would be lynching you days one 
- he could be the seer ;)

huh, I just looked into vocabulary, what moron means. I wanted to 
say something like "fool" games, or "fool plays", but that probably 
does not translate too :-) I should not use words, where I only anticipate 
their meanings :-)

we need someone willing to play with schemes and mainly test http 
and so on. anyone? you need some free time and possibly some understanding 
of http so that you can give better feedback ;)

I'll bite :)

ditto.  but time is thin

I bite too

I suggest DocKimbel, he is supposed to work on Cheyenne full time, 
so he might be interested to test especially http :-)

Petr... and you think I would not have added him already if he had 
time? :-)

:-)

I could theoretically do it, but I would be probably more interested 
in plain tcp, as I can work with WireShark etc.

but only week and a half to finish the strategy

and as for July, I will be just few days at work, then vacation, 
most of it off-line (rock festival for few days, High Tatras from 
21.7., but that time, it should be already a public beta release 
....)

what about trying to ask on ML?

let's see how it goes with the ones that have proposed so far. if 
i need more i'll ask.

is networking being async, or no need to, as we've got threading?

You can test reliability of networking layer by finishing Chord, 
no? :-)

async

chord - udp not there yet, but i will test that once we have task! 
complete (i don't want to have a mess of callbacks like in r2 chord.r)

task! is not complete yet?

from Carl's presentation, I did not understand plug-ins explanation. 
What are those? Will those replace library interface? Or provide 
means of extending rebol with native functionality via some common 
api?

latter.

task! works but is not complete functionality-wise (and has some 
bugs)

ah, I thought that task is easier part - "just" starting threads 
... well, then that mutex:// thing, and internal isolation of "contexts" 
:-) Hmm, maybe complicated enought to be difficult to implement ...

does this include https ?

Gabriele - how goes work on VID prototype?

no ssl yet.

no vid proto yet.

hmm, sound like kind of delay? Will public beta release of 15th July 
be affected?

maybe, but not sure yet. it could just be that it has incomplete 
vid. or it could be that we are able to do it quickly...

I've made a layer demo to test performance in R2 and R3. The demo 
is coded for R2 using FACE, but I guess you guys can easily convert 
it to R3 using GOBs.

do http://www.fys.ku.dk/~niclasen/rebol/test/layer.r


Use mouse to move squares around. Right-click a square to remove 
it. In the source, you can change the offset and size of the window 
in the beginnig, where playground is defined. The demo produce 100 
squares. A little down, there is the
loop 100 [
Change that to have more squares.
I hope, it can help.

Use <Esc> to quit the script.

I think that Rebolek did some 1000cows script, and reported difference 
was 2fps for R2 vs 20fps for R3 gobs version ....

Yes, you can do http://bolek.techno.cz/reb/1000cows.r, works both 
in r2 and r3.

I've got about 15fps with 1000 cows and 2 fps with 2500 cows (default 
cow-count when you download). R3 can do about 20-25fps in both cases 
on my machine.

that is very impressive improvement ....

I'm wondering, how big the difference is from FACE to GOB? Any documentation 
on GOBs yet?

docs will be public once r3 is public :)

So, will extended release come tomorrow? :-)

15th of July i think

no, July 1st should come extended beta release. What you mention 
is public beta release ....

ah ok

I expect extended beta release comes at least here to AltME folks 
.... but can't be sure of course ....

do we have any news on whether viewand/or vid will be included with 
the Beta?

I think that View is part of the release .... not much was said about 
VID prototype. Last time I asked it was not done yet ...

vid will be there, so we'll be a bit late.
