Communication Breakdown



Well, not Led Zeppelin, but seems Carl has disappeared into his cave again apparently spending all his time on redoing the rebol.com website. Meanwhile developers are chomping at the bit (terrible pun) for bugs to be fixed. What we need is a hero as depicted here but can Carl really do everything by himself? The R3 chat system, his own source code repository, and now the website redesign seems just another distraction as though he does not want to finish R3.

Altme



A long awaited upgrade took place ... and now you can no longer lose messages. Instead you get to stare at a blocking gray box ...

On the bright side, you can now set all the posts as "read" so that they are no longer "red".

Schemes



On the network schemes side, Graham ( yes, speaking of myself in the 3rd person ), has created a new fax:// scheme to interact with hylaFAX, and also a imap4 protocol. Since he doesn't use Imap, it would be nice if someone tested these schemes out.

There's also some initial work done on using Amazon SDB which seem to work.

News from Robert Muench about R3 project !

"I have some knews regarding R3. In the last two days I had longer calls with Carl and decided how to move R3 forward. This is how it will be done: - The RMA team will help to get some burden from Carl's shoulder and work on open issues. This will be setup in that we get partial access to the necessary code parts and can work on these. - We are going to extend our internal testing infrastructure etc on these new R3 releases and run it against our applications we crate - Carl and I will have regular calls to discuss the status and things where we need his advise etc. So, to keep the loop closed and gain more speed - I will meet with Carl in person on 23rd Juli to discuss further things - Unitil that we want to get most administrative setup done, so that we are ready to go We are going to drive the priorities by the things RMA needs. This shouldn't be a problem for anyone because if you are going to use R3 for serious development than you will need it as well. The thing is, ...
