World: r4wp

Anyhow, it's one possibility that I'll try to move along.

I think it's worth exploring.

And probably fun :)

The other reason I brough it up now is that community sharing is 
a pretty big part of Algodoo and so a chat/collaboration feature 
would be great to have.

So another reason they might want to consider Rebol vs others.

I'm reading and downloading right now :)

Get/install the version I linked in Languages - 2.1 beta8

The key is the app, not the language.  Regular old REBOL is all that 
needs to be underneath.  Apps can have dialects that control them 
AKA AREXX.  AppleScript is really a dialect for the Apple OS.

My daughter married John Resig's brother.  Long conversations.  John 
is a good guy, a human-centered technology sort of guy.  Saw the 
DOM and went yuk.  I've got to do something about this.

Enter JQuery.

Never heard of REBOL until I mentioned it.

Rochester Institute of Technology grad.

He's a young guy - I think it was a bit before their time, unfortunately. 
Hopefully they'll now take a good look.

Is R3 chat in github? It does not handle failing open a browser window 
very gracefully.

failing to open

I don't think it's there.

I wodner a bit, why Carl, releasing R3, did not publish also an R3 
chat? Is that so advanced, that he felt like keeping it private?

As for me, I can see it as a chat. I am not sure it scales well to 
replace Altme like product, but maybe I am wrong. I liked IOS model 
with pluggable handlers, and I would also probably made the back-end 
SQLite based ...

I'm guessing Carl designed the back end taking into account what 
he learned with AltME, so I would guess it's better designed.

Only the server part is private at least.

Well, maybe all we need to do is to ask Carl, if the Chat could be 
released too? Has anyone tried already?

Yes, a few times. I just mentioned to Nick earlier today how Carl 
seems to purposely avoid answering that question.

he was asking the same thing - see above in this group

Anything that Carl does not wish to answer .. he will ignore .. that's 
his past behviour

He would in the past however accept fixes to it, and posted a guide 
on how to extract the sources.

People on facebook seem to have trouble creating R3 chat accounts.

Yes, it doesn't work.

Congrats NickA on the nice and big work!

Thanks NickA.  Great work!

Nice, Nick!
Need to get that added to RebolBot!

Cool stuff Nick! You had to put lot of effort into it.

This tricked me to program again since long time

Did you notice that the updated date is 29-Feb-2013?  That date doesn't 
exist.

Yep - hehe, just changed that :)

Nick: in your business_programming.html page, I think your missing 
a % character in following code line:

    do mysql-107.rip

Shoot - yes - that section needs to be updated!  (copied it from 
the very old text from several years ago).

I wrote several hundred new pages for the "business" text.  I need 
to go through the previous material.  Any other corrections are welcom.

welcome

Thanks for posting Nick. I hope to get time to read them in the next 
few days.

Very nice, NickA!

You should publish it as a book someday Nick!

Graham, I haven't tried to grab a cookie or anything yet, but just 
running the SO bot errors out first thing:

** Script error: lastmessage-no has no value
** Where: get ajoin case ?? do either either either -apply-
** Near: get :name

What optimizations are you looking for?

I'd set last-message to 0 then

basically anything that is more efficient or Rebolish

I'd commented out last-message: nnnnn :(

Great contribution, Nick

@NickA: About enhanced r3 chat, have a look to %wchat.r in the %OpenMe/ 
folder of this Altme world.

Basically its %chat.r but it act as a proxy between the Devbase server 
and the browser. The goal is that the browser replace the CLI interface 
: not typing command in CLI but cliking link in the browser.

Its just a start. There is some work to do to handle POST request 
and then allow posting. + enhancing HTML presentation.

It works also with R3Droid!

I had absolutly no returns on this, so I guess nobody tried it. Then 
I stopped working on it, cause I have very few time for Rebol these 
days.
