Bo: 18:35ameriDroid.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.

SWhite: 14:52Another 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.

Reichart: 08:07:)
Arnold: 08:11From renewed rebol.com frontpage: rebol.net is back online (checked it too) (Thank you Carl!)

ddharing: 13:49We (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.
Maarten: 15:00ddharing, thanks so much. Would it be an idea to bundle the tools so people can make a local reference? Again, thanks a lot!

Bo: 23:24Rebol3-controlled walking robot getting close to being ready for sale at ameriDroid.com. Watch the demo video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7kuNEi02gQ
Goldie, the robot, does the entire presentation herself in one take.

Oldes: 09:33I'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: 14:05Here is demo of the current state: http://rebol.desajn.net/highlight/demo/
Maxim: 15:05changing styles in your demo doesn't change the highlighting ... using FF

Oldes: 12:13Updated the Rebol/Red language Highlight.js demo so it works in FF now (with actual improvements as well)

Bo: 00:31Rebol3-controlled walking robot is now available at http://ameridroid.com/products/owen-walking-robot-kit .
amacleod: 06:11Thats so cool, Bo

06:12I love that stuff

Reichart: 11:31One of my projects has finally been posted publicly http://www.builtinla.com/2016/01/18/former-disney-exec-set-launch-new-social-investing-tool

AdrianS: 22:51From giuliolunati in the SO chat: Giulio is working on an Emscripten build of Ren/C - you can see it in action here:
http://giuliolunati.altervista.org/r3.html
Nick, I know you've been waiting for someone to take this on for quite some time. Hopefully, this will be generally useful in the not too distant future.

Ladislav: 21:25See

Maxim: 22:31Arnold, all the forks of rebol/rebol are the same repository, including ren/c they cannot delete rebol/rebol.
Github won't remove it anyways. why would they ?

SWhite: 15:08Another REBOL-related document has come into existence on the internet. This is documentation, for a very specific audience, about how one might use REBOL for working with data outside REBOL's "natural habitat," in the land of fixed-format data files. It tries to explain which REBOL functions are most useful in that area, and to provide some helpful code modules. The document is located at: http://www.cobolrebol.com/pages/documentation/FixedAndCSVFiles.html
