It allows to write R3 extensions in Red(/System), and there's some 
support for writing custom R3 hosts in Red

This solves the problem that it has turned out that hardly anyone 
wants to write R3 extensions in C. Extensions written in Red are 
also much easier to manage, because you can cross-compile them, instead 
of having to set up a development environment on each target platform

Currently it only works on Windows, and you need the dyn-lib-emitter 
branch of Red/System

It's not completely tested yet. The do-string call into R3 doesn't 
seem to work. We don't know yet whether this is a bug in Red/System 
or a bug in R3

It requires another repository where I'm splitting off common definitions:

http://red.esperconsultancy.nl/Red-common

I'm also adapting my other Red bindings to use this common base, 
which was previously included in the C library binding

this is so cool

I wonder Carl would entertain the idea of reworking the extension 
mechanism in R3 to allow even lower overhead access to Red/System. 
Or is the overhead about as low as you can expect it given that R3 
is interpreted?

When the source is open, it's possible to do it without Carl ;)

RED FUNDING DRIVE, MATCHING FUNDS CHALLENGE:  to help ensure that 
Doc can continue to work on Red without disruption, I'll match funds 
donated to him by November 1, 2012, up to a total of $1000.

I wrote a tutorial that makes use of Chris Ross-Gill's Etsy.r module: 
 http://re-bol.com/etsy_api_tutorial.htmlThe focus of this one 
is all about helping the Etsy API developer team, but by necessity, 
it teaches all the REBOL basics, along with all the absolute beginner 
concepts.  I'm hoping the Etsy guys will write a blog post about 
it and help drive some more traffic toward REBOL :)

Very nice tutorial Nick.

We just finished to setup a public Cofluence wiki test server, where 
TreeMapper models are rendered in HTML-5. Take a look here:


http://s1.saphirion.com:8001/display/TREEM/Treemapper+Demonstration+on+Conluence


That's a model that's done with the R3 based editor and published 
out of the editor directly into a wiki page. The next demo version 
will include the server information so you can test it on your own.

Correct URL for the TreeMapper demo:


http://s1.saphirion.com:8001/display/TREEM/Treemapper+Demonstration+on+Confluence

I've moved the locations of the Red bindings, dropping the "Red-" 
prefix from #include paths, and normalising the older bindings with 
the latest few that I introduced

The locations of the repositories on the web are unchanged. I need 
the Red- prefixes there to make the repository names unique in the 
Fossil server

So the following Fossil repository:

http://red.esperconsultancy.nl/Red-common

needs to be checked out in the subdirectory "common" for other bindings 
to find it. I use a parent directory Red:

Red/common/

The Red directory may be named differently, but the other bindings 
should also be checked out in it, in subdirectories corresponding 
to their names

The guys at Etsy added Chris's library and my tutorial to their developer 
pages.  https://www.etsy.com/developers/documentation/resources/developer_resources
 I really think there's a marketing opportunity for REBOL, doing 
these sorts of tutorials for other web APIs

REBOL publishing libraries and tutorials like this for other popular 
web APIs.  Get a bunch of big web sites linking to REBOL sites, and 
their developer communities all taking a look at REBOL, and there 
will be curiosity and added traffic.

Published the new R3D library with guide and demo video: http://rebol2.blogspot.it/2012/10/r3d.html
, you'll find the same guide on www.rebol.org

I fixed support for push/pull connections in the ZeroMQ bindings 
for R2, R3 and Red/System:

http://rebol.esperconsultancy.nl/extensions/0MQ/

http://syllable.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/syllable/syllable/system/apps/utils/Builder/packages/ZeroMQ-Binding--current/

http://rebol.esperconsultancy.nl/REBOL-2-ZeroMQ-binding

http://red.esperconsultancy.nl/Red-ZeroMQ-binding

Also did some maintenance on the R2 binding. Simplified the send/receive 
interface and added the ventilator source/workers/sync example for 
parallel computing from the 0MQ guide

That's source/workers/sink

I've started using a Fossil repository to sync and archive test binaries. 
In case anyone wants to run them:

http://red.esperconsultancy.nl/Red-test

This is Red development stuff, so at any moment in time they may 
be broken

Currently most of them work

I just update the http://www.rebol.org/view-script.r?script=advanced-r3d.r
   R3D demo, may you test the models on your PCs and give me a feedback 
if it's all good? With off models I turned off backface culling and 
it can be hard for some pc... maybe...

just push "load OFF file" and test the models

I've added a build script to the above testing repository, to build 
all my Red examples in one go

I've added executables for all six current Red target platforms: 
Syllable, Linux, Linux-ARM, Android, Darwin (OS X) and MSDOS (Windows)

I need volunteers to test these examples on their platforms

For testing some of the bindings, here is information where to get 
the C, cURL and 0MQ libraries:

http://rebol.esperconsultancy.nl

For checking out the complete repository and simply keeping them 
up to date for new test versions:

http://rebol.esperconsultancy.nl/documentation/how-to-use-Fossil.html

I've updated the binaries for the latest Red fixes

To get a clue which binding/library an example program uses, look 
in build.r

http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/REBOL_Programmingnow it's a good guide 
on Rebol: what do you think?

I have to finish to add all "reserved" words description. You may 
help me if you want... ;-)
