Tim; Discussions on this very issue are in progress. The user.r topic of intere= st=20 right now is Programming in the Large. That for me includes libraries;=20 trusted libraries. I hope to have my head around a secure Web of Trust=20 sequence soon, (the whole OpenPGP thing) and getting it started if it's not= =20 too much grief. That will give us rebols a digital signature and a bank of= =20 keys to verify such.
It is a little bit of a catch-22. So many features that are visible librar= ies=20 for most scripters are a one or two-liner built-in for REBOL. But there ar= e=20 libraries we do need and those should be built and then propagated in a wel= l=20 defined and well advertised way. All planned...now action? Hmmm,=20 action. :) I was trying not to mention REBOL/3 in this, but even R3 will not be the=20 panacea for library management. That will take the community and=20 some "follow the leader" imho.
