Walter, Sorry for not responding to your survey. Yes, I definitely think this project is worth pursuing. Anything that raises the visibility of the Rexx language(s) should be pursued in my opinion and, although Rosetta Code is new to me, it certainly appears that Rexx should be better represented there than it currently is.
As to your conclusions, I agree wholeheartly! There are already entries for Rexx and ooRexx (and NetRexx) so the idea of a single "Rexx" language category doesn't make sense to me not to mention the "rework" needed to accomplish it. But cross referencing in both directions will surely make folks aware of ooRexx if they hadn't encountered it before.
