Hi ,
Currently, when we download Rebol the link from the
website direct us to a survey form.
Is it possible to provide an option to skip the
survey if we have already filled in once?
I understand that I can bookmark the final download
page, but there might be times that users may not be
using the same workstation and from the site, the only
way is to follow the links...
how about a "developers/members" section ?
just a thought

Yes, just hit the submit button and you will be forwarded to the
download page. The survey is optional (even it is not mentioned)

It is mentioned now, though it didn't used to be: "Before proceeding
with the free download, we would appreciate you answering the
questions below, but they are not required."
This is good, as many people are turned off by being forced to answer
questions about themselves when all they're wanting to do is to see
if they'll like a product.
I can't remember if you can install View without being online, but if
not, that could also make some people nervous. If it can't be
helped, explaining why they need to be online will go some way to
reassuring them.
Incidentally, one complaint I've had about the REBOL way of doing
things is that "You won't be able to buy programs, you'll have to use
them online." Now, I know this isn't the case with general REBOL
scripts and don't expect it to be so in the future, but how do you
convince someone that REBOL's not the thin edge of the wedge to a
world where all software is rented?

Good. I did not check :)

It is possible, I tested it on both Amiga and Windows.

There is the built in upgrade command that you can use. However the script
that is called is not currently working.
I got this very odd result on the popup request
reform what-am-i is not up-to-date. newline Current version is: version
newline Download current version?
Cheers,
