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

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.
Goldie, the robot, does the entire presentation herself in one take.

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
added APPEND-COLUMN, FETCH, LATIN1-TO-UTF8, ROWS?, TO-SQL-DATE updated LIKE, OLEDB?, SORT-ALL (added /reverse) renamed EXCEL-SHEETS? to SHEETS? removed LOOKUP replaced EXECUTE with dedicated SQLCMD and SQLITE functions replaced WORKSHEET with WRITE-EXCEL (about 10x faster) removed all dependencies on VBS and temporary file creation fixed minor Excel column handling limitations excel functions now work with accdb use of deline/lines to speed up line parsing
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.
Arnold, 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 ?

Another 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
