The Rebol Week

DevCon 2007 Not long now before the Rebolling hordes descend upon Paris. New sessions include: Ladislav Mecir: "Introduction to script preprocessing" Sunanda: "REBOL Library internals" (I have a feeling this will include some measure of the recent Mailing List compression competitions ) Maxim Olivier-Adlhoch: "Public release of ELIXIR - Dataflow-driven Work Environment&#8221" Less than three weeks to go: DevCon 2007 OS X Bundles Ashley uploaded documentation on creating OS X application bundles — perfect for distributing OS X REBOL/SDK applications. Graham notes this technique can be used to bundle the AltME binary. Menu Style Anton published a new “standard” menu style and demo. Download menu.r or try the demo from the REBOL/View console: do http://anton.wildit.net.au/rebol/gui/demo-menu.r QuarterMaster Chris introduces QuarterMaster , a framework for building web sites and applications.

Rebol 3 Datatypes To find out the datatypes built-in for REBOL 3, type 'help datatype!' Among one of the requested enhancement to REBOL 3 is support for multi-tasking and interprocess communication.

Try the new beta release at http://www.digicamsoft.com/cgi-bin/rebelBBeta.cgi Rebol.org Skimp Skimp is an indexing program written in REBOL. Skimp was REBOL's community answer to Google.

The REBOL community had rise to the challenge and contributed many great ideas to enhance Skimp to its latest state. Many thanks to Sunanda and Peter Wood for p...

REBOL 3 Information on R3 is getting more and more precise :-) . The R3 blog just released a complete list of datatatypes and a VERY cool stack trace function which will help A LOT in ironing out errors. Rebol.org Somehow it seems Piotr Gapinski's RSS reader written in REBOL went completely unnoticed! but I'd like to raise a few cheers for this simple, effective and actually quite complete implementation of a stand-alone RSS reader. Peter W A Wood released a script called make-word-list.r . Its a very complete REBOL script analyser which extracts any words it can find within any datatype! REBOL3 Altme Not much to say a part from the fact that its back online... I didn't get any strange effects when I logged back on, so it looks pretty clear so far. On the backup Rebol World Altme world setup by graham (many thanks from a lot of us btw), There was a flurry of discussion about Rebgui Are YOU the ultimate REBOL evangelist? Carl over at REBOL Technologies is advertising fo...
