His choices are illogical

Pekr, Graham knows more about schemes and protocols now than he did 
before. I'd say there is a win there.

Graham, so should we shut down the open R3 chat, which you and I 
can fix bugs in and use the AltME that people don't like because 
it's closed source?

There's no win if I can't use it for anything ...

Might as well shut down R3 chat as Carl isn't using it .. and that 
was supposed to be his communication channel

Questions go unanswered ...

Well, you have the knowledge now.

Who says that Carl isn't using it? I see some private messages trickling 
in once in a while. And Graham, you didn't respond to my question 
that I posted there 3 hours ago to help resolve the document editing 
situation on rebol.com.

Henrik - what are you talking about? Graham asked for assistance, 
schemes were supposed to be "revised" to see, if we use correct aproach 
in order for Carl to be acceptable ... it was promissed ... but did 
not happened ...

Pekr, then Graham should ask him again.

Henrik:  WHERE? :-)

R3 chat...

ok, Graham, please do so :-)

I didn't see any questions ...

I have no special rights ...

you don't need special rights to read message #6739.

How was I supposed to know that your message was in response to my 
statement from 2 weeks ago???

Type "6739", press Enter, press J and the previous author is Graham.

Wouldn't it be simpler if you put my name in the sentence so that 
I know you are talking to me?

I can do that next time.

Anyway I was able to edit this page http://www.rebol.com/r3/docs/functions/read.html

because my r3 chat rating was 50

That's a manual page, so that looks OK. Can you edit a page like 
this one:

http://www.rebol.com/rebol3/

To edit a page, you need a "edit" menu on the page

try clicking the red box on the upper right corner

Yes ...

ok? I get: "Restricted action. You have attempted to access a section 
of this website that requires administrative access."

on what page?

on that page I linked to above.

when clicking the red box in the upper right corner

Oh ... is that what you meant by red box

http://www.rebol.com/r3/docs/functions/read.html

see the word "edit" top right ... I think that's the only time you 
can edit a page

I think the point is that we should be able to edit those pages too, 
but it seems not to be the case right now.

And the point is we are blocked while Carl goes incommunicado ago 
...

we're not blocked in the manual

also I can see three more items checked on the priorities page from 
the last time I checked it a few hours ago, so docs conversion is 
progressing.

create the code - test it - write the final docs

why do you want to start at the end?

Perhaps it makes better sense for Carl to do this now to test specific 
areas of R3. During this, Carl has also posted curecode reports.

I see no new curecode tickets for the last 3 days

posted 4 and 5 days ago. a couple more earlier in the month.

While I agree that the website overhaul has a very bad timing, I 
also think that the new website is an incredible improvement

We finally have an official-lookin collection of changelogs (http://www.rebol.com/docs/changes.html)

There is an unheard of (for RT) transparence of work done on the 
website (http://www.rebol.com/recent.html). A cynic might think, 
though, that it can surely be only a matter of time until that page 
is locked down and protected and whatnot.

A lot of us never visit the website ...

The old one was basically completely useless

And that's why we never visited ...

Still, I don't think that all this shiny website freshness does justify 
the total lack of R3-related activity and/or communication. Just 
as one could sense at least a tiny bit of R3 momentum ...

I think this belongs more to rebol3 than I'm new , even though I 
am new :-)
foo: copy "ABCD"
insert foo "ä"
? foo
to-binary foo

Returns ..  Utf-8 encoded string.

I heard someone say that R3 was going to reintroduce the R2 console 
- is that true?  I hate pasting code into the current console - it 
is never formatted correctly for it.
