World: r3wp

So he already has the R3 task? Fine.

Yes, in fact he does

And... https://www.qtask.com/files.cgi/ForREBOL3?tab=get&uuid=EXBGS47FCJ7A291SVTW9WDTTD1QT&filename=For REBOL3

Reichart, are you the big guy ?

Yes, but Cyphre is bigger:)

Reichard...it's by design, that you must download the image to see 
it, or it is bug in Qtask? :)

perhaps this is the other which are hobits

Brian looks crazy

ahah

you are young in fact, i thought some of you were older

btw, do we have some girls in  this altme world ?

I thought you were a girl!  Steeve is a girls name :)

You can start an Ada chat channel if you like.

what !!!!

Stevie is short for stephanie ... http://www.nicksfix.com/

i have this forname (even if it's not a french one) cause my father 
was a huge fan of Steve Mac Queen

Oh ... why the double ee??

Italiano, they use lle to feminize ??

because like me, my father didn't handle very well this langage

i don't know why in fact

Oh well, you can see how we can get confused.

in french i'ts delivered: st-ee-v

st-e-v, instead

I think Reichart needs to add the ability to play back wav files 
attached to a nick :)

Oldes: "But the unicode in gui must be, else the changes in core 
were useless."

I think the Core changes would still be useful for server-side apps.

Richard is 185cm, I'm 187cm, so, having checked, I'm tallker (and 
bigger).  I'm 100 kg.

By design that we make you download it.  It is being treated as a 
file.

taller

Richard was standing bit in front, that's the reason why he appears 
to be bigger than Reichart :)

Graham, in case you missed it: The BBS gave a good range of bugs 
to fix. It was probably built in half a day. The rest of the time 
was (and still is) spent fixing bugs in the core and my skin. We 
are not "wasting time".

i would like to know how to become an alpha tester ?

of rebol3

Claude - there was some public alpha release of R3 in January. We 
are trying to convince Carl to release next alpha in some near future, 
but I am not sure how it turns out.

Pekr, checked your mail? :-)

First alpha release in January, and we're now in December, and writing 
a simple app exposes major bugs in core/vid .... it's really all 
quite tragic.

The sparse release strategy is flawed.

Mail? Not yet, just private message on r3-alpha ... sometimes some 
ppl do fatal mistakes :-)

Graham - OSNews contains link to Perl6 - it is in development 8 years, 
so we are not slowest at least :-)

The mantra of iterative development is release early and often. Frequent, 
tangible, working releases are at the heart of the iterative approach.

The iterative approach allows frequent feedback .. to mold development.

Evolution is the result of forces acting on systems ... if there 
is no feedback, or the environment is not rich enough .. then development 
occurs  much more slowly.

I suggested to Carl to consider KDE 4 aproach. It was in development 
few years, and it seeemed like there is no end to this. So the team 
decided to cut some features for 4.1 and later, mark recent state 
as 4.0, and release it. They were criticised, but I do understand 
their motives. Those are mainly psychological - release, and never 
look back. Use current one. Are there bugs? OK, let's fix them, and 
go ahead ...

yep

should have started with core ...

and retrofitted as needed

instead we are at a point where nothing is usable

Pekr, I agree it was a mistake. :-)

Graham: Open or closed development. Right now, I'm not sure it would 
speed anything up. I think things would actually slow down. But this 
has been discussed to death.

Henrik - I am not sure I have any intention to participate in VID 
world, even if invited. I suggested you and BrianH initially to Carl 
on purpose. My understanding of situation back at that time was, 
that VID 3.4 is almost finished, and 2 ppl are needed to help it 
to finish it. I was probably wrong, as now it once again seem, as 
a regular release. So as for me, what was initial purpose of r3-alpha 
world, now moved to new GUI world.

Pekr, thanks :-)
