MaxV 28-Aug-2012 [288] | I'm here to help you Jerry |
Henrik 28-Aug-2012 [289] | Jerry, looks like a smart move. My Chinese is a bit rusty to say the least. |
Jerry 28-Aug-2012 [290] | Thanks for willing to help me on the translation. |
Gregg 28-Aug-2012 [291] | I don't know Chinese at all, but can help with final English wording. |
Jerry 28-Aug-2012 [292x4] | Every pages is carefully drawed and layouted. To make the English Edition of it, I have to re-layout every page. Since English Sentence is shorter than it's Chinese one in most of the cases, I will need to re-layout everypage. the aspect should be change from 4:3 to 16:9 or 16:10. This will take some time for me to prepare. |
Carl got my book last Friday, maybe that's why he decided to think about the future of REBOL and wrote that blog article. I hope our opening the R3 book and trying to gain more new users will make him make the second move, opening R3. | |
Even though I've prepared in my heart for the worst situation. | |
I am kind of shy and not talkative. But recently I've talked a lot here, because I really don't want to see the death of REBOL. | |
Arnold 28-Aug-2012 [296] | I am not native English speaking but I can help out a little for a first rough read-through and correction round. |
ddharing 28-Aug-2012 [297] | Jerry, I would like to help with the English editing. Please let me know the next step. |
PeterWood 28-Aug-2012 [298] | Jerry - I will be happy to help, let me know how. |
NickD 28-Aug-2012 [299] | So how is the rebol source code working for you guys? \ |
Kaj 28-Aug-2012 [300] | What source code? |
NickD 28-Aug-2012 [301x2] | Carl released it last week |
a limited version like Python | |
Maxim 28-Aug-2012 [303x2] | where? |
and limited how? | |
Kaj 28-Aug-2012 [305] | Python is not limited |
NickD 28-Aug-2012 [306x2] | I dont know the exact limitations. Just relaying the information from the board of directors |
Maybe they said some other name of code then. Thought it was Python. Is it not on the website anywhere? | |
Kaj 28-Aug-2012 [308] | All we got, a day ago, is a blog article saying that Carl doesn't know what to do, and we should tell him |
Maxim 28-Aug-2012 [309] | I've looked around again and there doesn't seem to be any sign of any new release of any kind from Carl. |
Kaj 28-Aug-2012 [310] | Nope |
NickD 28-Aug-2012 [311] | Ill ask. The word phython was used, so perhaps there are no restrictions then. |
Kaj 28-Aug-2012 [312x3] | Python is a full open source project from the start |
In case you haven't found it: | |

NickD 28-Aug-2012 [315] | Posing this question to them now. Will get back to you. |
Kaj 28-Aug-2012 [316] | Thanks |
NickD 28-Aug-2012 [317] | Just read it. Typical. Should have been done many moons ago |
Kaj 28-Aug-2012 [318] | Yes |
Jerry 28-Aug-2012 [319] | James_nak, Arnold, MaxV, Gregg, ddharing, PeterWood, and Nick, Thanks for willing to help me. |
Arnold 28-Aug-2012 [320] | What source code? The compiled version offered is doing rather fine :/ |
GrahamC 29-Aug-2012 [321x2] | Jerry, can you do Kindle or ePub format? That will make it a lot more accessibe to people who read these days |
Everyone has a phone with them these days | |
Henrik 29-Aug-2012 [323] | Jerry, I'm curious to what tools you used to write the book? LaTeX? Word? Makedoc? |
Jerry 29-Aug-2012 [324x2] | Henrik, It's PowerPoint. I make a slide with 320 pages. I asked myself not to use bullet-point to make it not a traditional slide. |
I also ask myself to make it readable slide. | |
Henrik 29-Aug-2012 [326] | wow, interesting |
Jerry 29-Aug-2012 [327] | Henrik, you can see this slide, than you will know my PowerPoint Style. I made this Slide 3 years ago for InfoQ QCon www.slideshare.net/d0nn9n/caixueyong-cep |
Henrik 29-Aug-2012 [328] | Thanks |
Arnold 29-Aug-2012 [329x2] | Looks like the Head First series: http://www.headfirstlabs.com/books/hfprog/ |
That little guy on the top right, that's you Jerry? ;-) | |
james_nak 29-Aug-2012 [331] | Beautiful presentation Jerry. |
GrahamC 30-Aug-2012 [332x2] | Is Scot Sutherland an investor? |
Seems he is stuck in the past | |
james_nak 30-Aug-2012 [334] | Graham, he's an educator. He used to work for Rebol Inc back in the day. I met him way back when I worked for Commodore. |
GrahamC 30-Aug-2012 [335] | OK. |
Maxim 30-Aug-2012 [336] | he is a really good guy btw, I had a few discussions with him a few years back. |
GrahamC 30-Aug-2012 [337] | Carl wants our opinions on how to move forwards .. |
