Speaking of ways to combine multiple rebol support channels to avoid a 'fractured' user community, I wish I had an icon on my View Desktop that could take or point me to rebolish urls, including perhaps even blogs, or the ability to easily add my own urls. Other useful features would include 1) a way to track or sort which urls the user finds most useful, so that something like a 'Top 10' list of resources could be maintained on my desktop; 2) extend this ability to maintain my own urls and Top 10 list such that rebolforces.com (or where ever) always has the latest Top 10/100 list compiled from users who''ve submitted their own lists. Ie, just a simple use count (and/or user vote) for each url in the master list.
Too complicated? If there's 'one place' a user should be able to browse rebol resources, shouldn't it be from a rebol desktop? Seems to me like an app perfectly suited for rebol. Here's more complicated: Add a search feature (at least for some sites), or bring up the site's search page if it has one, or bring up a site-specific google search page. --Ken (still just a rebol wannabe). ><snip> >For searching older emails there's Escribe... > >http://www.escribe.com/internet/rebol/index.html > >and Graham Chiu's... > >http://www.compkarori.co.nz/x.php?/rebolml > >for newer messages. > >I think the popularity of the mailing list is just how things panned >out with REBOL.
