I believe there were major (unsolvable?) security issues with the plug-in which R3 is to address and fix...thus the abandonment of R2 Browser Plug In

This makes sense... http://reboltutorial.com/businessmarketing/why-altme-world-failed-whereas-ba secamp-succeeds/ And while I don't mind if AltMe is or isn't in the browser, (I don't use it and no doubt some like the dark net approach, plus failure's a relative term), it would be hugely useful to be able to access REBOL apps from any browser anywhere. Which means having the REBOL Web Browser Plugin running on all major web browsers and operating systems. Which was the promise at one time, but seemingly forgotten about in favour of getting R3 up and running. I note however there is some new R2 activity... http://rebolweek.blogspot.com/2009/12/year-ending-2009.html "And redevelopment has started on Rebol2 with a 2.7.7 release by years end ... The idea is to start monthly releases similar to the Rebol3 release schedule." That's good. I don't see any point in abandoning one tool in favour of a newer, shinier one, especially when the newer, shinier one is still months or years away from passing the feature list of the older one. My wish for 2010 would be to see R2/View running in all major web browsers. In my opinion, it's the one single thing that could significantly accelerate REBOL adoption. -- Carl Read. -- To unsubscribe from the list, just send an email to lists at rebol.com with unsubscribe as the subject. -- To unsubscribe from the list, just send an email to lists at rebol.com with unsubscribe as the subject.
