I think the tricky thing about REBOL is that in some ways it needs to
be learned more like a human language than a programming language. The
context and intent of the language nouns and verbs are very important.
You don't become fluent by learning the meaning of these elements, but
rather from their proper usage and then their creative application.

I always like to read Carl's scripts (real ones, not examples in the
docs), because he's the most fluent thinker of REBOL. Often his
scripts reveal insight into solving certain simple problems. It's like
adding new phrases to your vocabulary.

So, I don't think the biggest challenge is to write documentation. The
challenge is to acquire enough insider knowledge from Carl and other
sources to write training-quality REBOL docs.

This proposition would probably torment any REBOL guru, but it would
be a great service to the community if Carl or a small group of REBOL
gurus could make themselves available to edit and provide dedicated
guidance to those who would like to create REBOL tutorials. Likewise
it would be great if a number of REBOL newbies made avail of
themselves to provide input to fundamental docs that need to be
written by Carl or others.
