how about adding a list of exemplars just above the Latest News bar .. eg. industrial automation (Zoe), scripting, web servers, Alexa
Also, in the first code example, foreach is now for-each, and you don't really need to check if the records block is empty as if it were, it just won't do anything.
@gchiu I like the exemplars idea. Are you thinking just a block of content with a graphic / blurb describing each example, or should it actually link to something? (i.e. like some Rebol project that highlights this well)
I think just a small graphic and some text. Doesn't have to link, but for industrial automation then we could link back to Atronix.
I think we also need a panel that links to a page (for @hostilefork to write ) that explains the design evolution from Rebol2/3/Red to Ren-C which is the current incarnation of R3.
We don't currently have a GUI so I'd suggest removing the example of VID.
Edit: Unless we link GUI capability to the Saphir branch maintained by Atronix?
Those things are done now. I will start working on a mockup for the Documentation pages. You mentioned using Discourse for comments earlier, and so I will looking into hooking that up to the documentation too.
Oh, doh, yup you're right. I removed that "data" now. Yea, that is only a snippet of the entire function. I wanted to show what a function looked like, as well as include a few built in functions like random and enbase... and that was the first example I could find in my code. I am open to replacing it or any of the other ones. Just wanted to get something up.
If you have a GitHub account I can add you to https://github.com/r3n/rebol.org so you can start adding your website source there, and we can also make content changes more easily.
Yup, apparently you guys are crossing the proton streams, and are both inviting me at the same time
He is doing it in the Stack Overflow chat as we speak, thought it was related. I still don't have an email about it though, which is strange, but will keep looking out for it.
In terms of documentation, we need to think about the resources on the existing rebol.org
We already have the wiki from Rebol.net, the scripts from Rebol.org, and there was a third party mirror of the defunct mailing list though I can't find it just right now. But I gather we'll get the tarball of the current server and could recreate the search if there is enough interest/time/manpower for this.
Iβm still working through some issues, so it can be demoβd in a reasonably working state... but I can provide some screenshots tonight to show you what Iβm working on
