Pekr maybe try this instead of with 1 2 3 4 5

@Doc I want the trivial tasks not non-trivial ones ! I am not an 
expert.

I don't see currently any trivial task that could speed up the progress 
of Red, unfortunately, all the tasks in the Roadmap are non-trivial. 
If I stumble upon some non-coding task that can be outsourced, I 
will contact you.

Ah, there's maybe something that you could do: I need to port my 
current Red test script in Quick-Test (QT) form. I can send you the 
script (very very simple) and the expected unit tests format used 
by QT, you would just have to convert it and check if all tests are 
reported as passing in QT...it's not a big task, but you will save 
me some time for advancing on the code. Interested?

special group for posting small Red tasks?

Checklist

these are the chances to pull some aboard

Yeah, otherwise they will drown ;-)

The ticket system in Github could be used for storing tasks too (we 
would just need a new tag).

You would qualify for a free license for http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/overview
but the software is quite "big"

There are lot of online tools for software project management. Maybe 
picking one could help better organize Red's development...thanks 
for the suggestion, I will look into it.

And looks like they'll even host it for you gratis

DocKimbel, we're testing Trello at Saphirion right now. It seems 
to work pretty well.

The main feature that would be needed in such tool is close integration 
with a git repo or directly with github.

ok, Trello is probably not useful, unless there is a plugin.

https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.atlassian.jira.plugins.bitbucket

Auto-sync Git and Mercurial repositories from Bitbucket and/or GitHub 

This add-on is turned on by default for Atlassian On-Demand customer

Are there any guides on how to use these various bindings for red/system?

Not really, but for the cURL binding you could refer to my documentation 
for the R3 binding:

http://rebol.esperconsultancy.nl

The 0MQ binding also has some documentation there

Actually, the 0MQ docs there include a guide for Red/System, but 
the cURL docs include programming documentation

There are also the materials from the DevCon:

http://devcon.esperconsultancy.nl

Including videos about Red installation and the bindings:

More than I thought, really :-)

Guys, we will really, really, need something like: http://tour.golang.org
or http://tryruby.orgfor Red.


If someone is willing to start working on such tool, that would for 
sure greatly contribute to the success of Red. I have already bought 
the following domains for such kind of use:

- tryred.net
- redtutor.net
- red4.us
- red2.me

We could even already use Topaz for building it (maybe just adding 
a thin Red dialect on top of it?).

Agree something is needed ... there is no easy guide to get started

Graham: I was thinking it could be ready for end of year of beginning 
of next year. Currently Red is not for end users, and won't be for 
a while. Red/System could be used in production though, but I don't 
have time to write users docs or tutorials for it.

of beginning
 => "or beginning"

Don't we need to wait a bit for more functionality from red before 
writing user docs?

No, you can take REBOL as a model, all basic features will be identical.

We could then upgrade such docs later with Red's specific additions.

Who implemented Try REBOL? Was it Kaj?

http://tryrebol.esperconsultancy.nl/

So - we have something to start with, no?

I'll most probably add Red to TryREBOL. I need to integrate it in 
my CMS, anyway

The next step would than be to get the REPL for Red.

This is to try more Red beyond the things that are save to allow 
on a webserver/browser.

Is it necessary for a tryred to have Red be able to process cgi on 
the webserver.

The easiest way would be to use Topaz and "just" add a Red-to-Topaz 
converter.

That sounds like a lot of work. On TryREBOL, Red and Red/System will 
be used directly

Agreed. Also a great introduction like http://learnyousomeerlang.com/
would help using the REPL and compiling Red.

Kaj btw length-of is scaring me ;)

Is English scaring you?

There are OS- prefixes left in all platform files except Windows

I meant the discussion about the -of postfixes. :-)
