I don't know what the #1 thing would be, but as REBOL's good for CGI, a tutorial showing how easy it is to produce interactive web-pages with REBOL might grab a few people. The beauty of this would be the examples could be live without visitors needing to install anything. "REBOL produced this page, this is how it was done and this is the code used to do it." type of approach. Examples could start off with your basic visitor-counter and move on to more complex things like graphs, polls and all the other little uses CGI can be put to to enhance websites. The key would be to make all the examples useful ones that people could use with little modification in their own websites. The one fly in the ointment though is 99.999% of webhosts don't have REBOL pre-installed, hence they'd need to install it themselves to make use of it, which would probably be problematical for a lot of potential users. Still, as long as the code looked simple, it could make a few more try REBOL. -- Carl Read. -- To unsubscribe from the list, just send an email to lists at rebol.com with unsubscribe as the subject.
