"When" you ask? I've got the first draft design complete, and Jim has
written the C-based graphical layering system. Over the
last week I've added the parse block capability necessary to make
dialects easier to write, and the first GUI dialect is now
up and drawing screens. (Nice looking screens they are too.) My plan
is to release a beta by mid-January to those of you who
want to test drive it. I will provide a number of interesting example
scripts that I guarantee will be immediately useful to you.
There is a bonus for those of you who like technical challenges.
REBOL/View will include its GUI dialect source code. That gives
you the power to enhance the GUI as well as create your own custom GUI
dialect, say for interactive TV, kiosks, games, or whatever."

If the REBOL/View beta was that close to shipping seventeen days ago,
and is not going to ship this week as originally promised, then maybe
whatever Alpha is ready now might be released now to be completed as a
open source project rather than a beta, and we could address both
issues discussed under this thread at once. Some part of REBOL at least
would be out as active open source, and the RT programmers could get
back to work on /Command and the platform ports.
