Last year of development of R3 has shown us we are moving forward in a steadily pace. Even if R3 seems to be much more precisely defined, and contains strategic architecture changes and some nice new features, the community is not giving R3 much of an attention. A "wait and see" strategy? Or does R3 still lacks anything fundamental for devs to switch to the next generation of Rebol? Let's find out ... what defines a good beta ...

Is it time to shift the limelight away from the size of the binary to the non-embedded market?
Some ideas about how future Rebol logo concept could be built.
