This is a problem everyone faces with REBOL. Personally I think people shouldn't worry about this as much as they do; however they will and so we have too. (The "you can find Java programmers everywhere" argument is very silly, because when looking for a programmer people shouldn't look for "<Language X> programmer", they should look for "good programmer". Hype is actually a more serious concern, because some people count on getting some advantage from it - for example web startups will use the term "AJAX" or "Web 2.0" just for the hype associated with those terms; REBOL doesn't have any hype. The solution to this problem is usually to avoid telling people it's REBOL: you could still call a site using the REBOL plugin "Web 2.0". You have the "you need to install the plugin first" problem, but that's a different issue.) TJ> tim (must see more of makedoc3) And I must publish more. :) Hopefully soon.
