AltME: Announce

AltJSON v0.3.5 for Rebol 3 (including current Ren/C version)
- Supports easier creation of JSON objects with set-word/value pairs in blocks, get-word/path lookup.
- Uses MAP! to correspond with incoming JSON objects.
- /FLAT refinement uses blocks for incoming JSON objects to allow for case-sensitive keys, parsing and null values.

AltJSON v0.3.6 for Rebol 2
- Introduces some of the changes from the Rebol 3 releases:
- Switch to RFC 3339 formatting of dates,
- Resolves Get-Words and Get-Paths,
- Recognises Set-Word/Value pairs as JSON Objects,
- Limits the format of JSON object keys, uses ^ escaping on words that almost conform (use /Flat for more flexibility)
Do/Import/Source: http://reb4.me/r/altjson
Due to the nature of some of the changes, this version may not be wholly compatible with previous versions--let me know if you experience any major problems.

ameriDroid.com and Hardkernel (ODROID) are going to be at ARM TechCon 2015 in Santa Clara, California on November 11-12. We'll have a 10x20 foot booth just inside the main entrance.
Register here for a free Expo Hall pass so you can visit with us in person and see demos at our booth. We'll have some Rebol-powered demos running on ODROID products.

Another web site of documentation related to REBOL 2 has come into being at  http://www.cobolrebol.com/.  This is some learning aids for a very specific and small audience, and has been put on the internet in case it is helpful to anyone else.

We (i.e. Atronix Engineering) have published a Rebol 3 function reference on our wiki. It is specific to our build and automatically generated using the interpreter and a meta data file for things like examples, cross reference and comments. Hopefully, this level of automation will mean that it stays updated. All of the examples have been tested.
The wiki is currently read-only to the public. Feedback is welcome.
The documentation link is also on our downloads page. It is https://www.wiki.atronixengineering.com/doku.php?id=rebol:ug.

ddharing, thanks so much. Would it be an idea to bundle the tools so people can make a local reference? Again, thanks a lot!

I'm working on Javascript Syntax Highligter for Rebol like languages... currently in pull request with detection conflict with something called *Inform 7*... anyway.. if anybody is interested for improving, here it is: https://github.com/isagalaev/highlight.js/pull/988
Oldes
Here is demo of the current state: http://rebol.desajn.net/highlight/demo/
Maxim
changing styles in your demo doesn't change the highlighting ... using FF

Oldes
Updated the Rebol/Red language Highlight.js demo so it works in FF now (with actual improvements as well)
