Comments on: Rebuilding rebol.org
This posting provides a simple way to coordinate and post announcements for the reworking of rebol.org.
See Repurposing the rebol domains for the general idea.
Note: rebol.org has always been run as an independent site. Although I helped kick it off, a few energetic folks took it from there. I don't have any ownership over it, but those who run it certainly do. Before anything can be done, it's necessary to coordinate and get the approval and buy-in with the current administrators and operators of the site.

Todo #1: We need a list of those who are still involved in running rebol.org. I think the list is fairly small at this point.
Todo #2: Build a list of those who want to be involved with the new rebol.org.
Todo #3: The second group needs to ask the first group for permission to proceed. If there are any issues, they'll need to be resolved with that group before moving forward. | Gregg Irwin

Sunanda has been the workhorse for many years, but has been offline due to health issues. Peter Wood and I have access and just watch for problems. We haven't made any updates in a long while.
Peter and I want to make sure Sunanda is notified, not just because he could help in the transition, but because he has put a great deal more time into the current site than anyone else. | Harry

Maybe publish a job list rather than a volunteer list, and let people choose a task to attempt. | Gregg Irwin

Peter reached Sunanda, and he will grab a copy of all the current stuff on rebol.org as a backup. I'm grabbing it as well, right now.
When we do the revamp, I would very much like Sunanda to be credited somewhere, and perhaps a "thank you" in a blog entry from Carl. He has done so much over the years, largely unsung. I think he deserves it, and Peter does as well.
I've asked if he wants to be inovlved in the rewrite, and will let you know what I hear. | Gregg Irwin

I connected with Sunanda, and he is happy to have the new team re-energize rebol.org. He will answer questions about the old site if needed, as time and his health allow, but doesn't care to be involved in the day-to-day operations or redesign.
We have permission to proceed. |
