Peter,
Hehe, the link still seems to be messed up :)
To anyone who may be interested in the idea of Rebol promotion:
I came across a group called "Euses", which could potentially be =20
helpful in extending Rebol's exposure:
http://eusesconsortium.org/
They seem to have some significant reach, especially in the academic =20
community, and the Rebol design principles maybe could be interesting =20
to them. Their acronym stands for "end users shaping effective =20
software". They're a consortium representing several universities, =20
who's goal is to "empower end users to be able to write their own =20
programs". They state that the number of end-user programmers in the =20
United States is more than 20 times that of professional programmers =20
(55 million end user programmers, compared to 2.75 million =20
professionals). They strike me as a good group for Rebol to get =20
involved with...
