AltME: REBOL3

No Maxim, I don't think you understand how this works. There can be a 100 forks, but there is only 1 that is regarded as leading. In our case that one is not maintained and therefor R3 is not maintained, there is no consensus between forks. Outsiders look at the repo and see it is dead as a dodo and so regard R3 not as a viable alternative.

R3 is dead, long live R4!
With the emphasis on long

yes, Rebol/R3 is dead in terms of development that is true.  Ren-C IS the currently active Rebol3 project.  that's just how it is.

It is doubtful that Carl would drop the R3 codebase to start from scratch again. I bet that R4 would be more like a re-branding of [R3 + something else].
Another option could also be a "specialized" R3 version for a given domain, like embedded devices.

Arnold
We need a !REBOL4 Group!
And "we" need to take over control over the repo immediately.

If there is going to be any repo, maybe it is going to be closed source again :-)
Arnold
If it is closed, in my opinion he better save the effort of creating it.

Why? I believe Carls has fun creating it. Isn't it good enough reason? :)

I'd like to show a window with a progress bar that show the progress of a download taking place and with a "Cancel" button to stop it  same as request-download. How can I do it in R3? I am able to create the window with widgets but don't know the net part, any hint?

I disagree - we have the Atronix fork and that works pretty well. Good enough to bridge the gap until REDhas TCP and more UI backends
I'm actually using the Atronix version to build a distributed computing system, that runs across ARMv7, Win64, Lin64 (32 bit too, but whta's the case). Pet project, but fast enough dev time wise to be usable, and seems to "just work"
Ren-c.... I don't think that has a UI. So it's really R3/Core witout FFI

Does r3 on android allow to read write local files? I tried but I get an error.

CelesteM

Hi, is there a way to intecept new data on the windows clipboard and read it ?
Gregg
I don't recall of any old notification hooks for it. You might have to poll.
