I don't. But there is the redshift forum. I don’t know what you are trying to 
do, but if you look for a replacement for the mental ray 2D glow shader, there 
is no equivalent in RS. Redshift does it more physical accurate (using lights). 
You can however use a mesh as the light source and get similar results with RS.

But you perhaps won't have the artistic and easy control of the halo. To get a 
look more like an "old fashioned" glow, you may not apply gamma correction.

I did a quick test with a glow using an object. It uses a global volume shader 
in the environment stack of the pass, a light and a mesh.

do you know by chance a good vimeo on pluralsight or others

on a use of redshift's  volume shaders?

Redshift has very good integration into XSI. Even a lot  of the standard 
(non-redshift) shaders work. Not all of them, eg. the mix2colors node works but 
not the mix8colors node. However, you're not forced to use mental ray shaders. 
RS comes with a lot of replacements for them. Take a look at the documentation 
to RS and there is also the redshift forum.

Regarding volume shaders I meant that it's usually more complex to use volume 
shaders versus simple 2d glows by mental ray. But since RS is very fast it 
might not be the case.

If you managed to learn MR, you should not have problems with RS. Some shaders 
are very similar to MR. You may need a few days to get comfortable with it, 
though.  Render times will compensate it big times.
