[REBOL] OpenSource REBOL

[icimjs]

Hi Ted, Petr,

If REBOL Tech is supposed to take the statements re: OpenSource REBOL
seriously, perhaps we should pracitcally demonstrate our commitment and
ability to implement OpenSource REBOL related production quality code.
Otherwise, it just looks like alot of hot air, no?

Quite a few people have - over time - brought up the question of OpenSource
REBOL. Quite a few people have - over time - also brought up the question
of database connectivity.

If I am not mistaken, ODBC is based on sockets. REBOL supports sockets as
ports. Wouldn't it be time to launch an OpenSource project to implement a
REBOL extension that uses REBOL's ports mechanism to connect to dbms's that
support ODBC?

MySQL is a rather popular online dbms (right Randy?). MySQL supports
sockets. (Perhaps other commercial dbms's also support ports connectivity.
Does anyone know?) In addition to ODBC support, isn't it time to implement
an OpenSource ports-based MySQL interface?
