I didn't find any info about this REBOLDOC project on Robert's website (Saw an
OpenDOC entry but nothing else)
Robert can you comment about this please ?

I also went from there to Langreiter's one and really love
the revealing aspect of the demonstrated TouchGraph as used there to index
and relate the interconnection of snips (small information chunks linked together
by hyperlinks)
I visited it and found some small REBOL notes from Holger and others that could
be indexed since they explain some important misconceptions ppl tend to have
when starting with View - compared with VB for example.
I can try to start one locally but I have no Web server that can help here to publish
anything on the Web for reviewing, commenting and editing by other ML members.
In this case I would prefer to install a plain wiki I got many years ago that worked
well here locally the first time I tried to install it - remember it was not the same
at all
with Vanilla.
However if someone desires to host me for this project and give me some access
to his own Vanilla operated site, I'll be glad to accept his invitation.
What do you think about ?
Don't forget that the main points here are simplicity, visibility and sharing of ideas
and code.

Thanks. It's been a too long time I didn't visit Graham's site. Last time I
think it was not operating a Vanilla site at all.
