World: r4wp

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... ;-)

You can use the following code to make word description entry in 
the wikibook:

Usage, for example:
my?  view

I have put a script similar to the chess script on rebol org. It 
is a script to determine all possible moves in the international 
10x10 checkers game (dammen). It needs some improvement in how to 
represent the moves themselves, but the basics work. I'll post a 
board and simple board evaluating script soon. 
http://www.rebol.org/view-script.r?script=dam1.r

(I need also to find out how exactly to make a package from all needed 
files)

I've updated the above test binaries for the Red 0.3.0 alpha 1 release. 
Please test

MaxV: I see you wrote: "ALIVE? is a logic of value: true" - I think 
that this needs a more thorough explanation, though.

>> source alive?
alive?: true

Is there anything else about ALIVE? ?

I've added Windows binaries for most dependency libraries to the 
above Red test program collection: cURL, SQLite, 0MQ, SDL and GTK 
and dependencies. With that, it becomes very easy to test them on 
Windows

I'm particularly interested in results for MSDOS/RedSystem/read-web-page 
and play-SDL-WAV. I haven't been able to use cURL to read a web page 
yet, and playing sample.wav appears in the Windows 7 mixer, but I 
haven't had audible sound yet

I've updated the test binaries for Red/System fix #279, fixing GTK 
window icon loading

I've cleaned up the Red bindings for the #enum passing bug that was 
fixed in Red/System 0.3.0. Most of the bindings need Red 0.3.0 now

Reposting Carl Read's: "For those wanting an email list again, note 
there's already one on Google Groups: groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/rebol"

I just finished the full Rebol disctionary on: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/REBOL_Programming/Dictionary
there you can find also the source of the functions. 

It's a public wiki, you can add examples, correct bugs, add topics: 
you are welcome!

Hmm, as I see it, you described R2. Now the question is whether it 
makes sense to add R3 description, eventually how.
