What does Safeworlds software do?



Hi again everyone,

A question I should have answered before it was asked is "What does Safeworlds software do?"

It is similar to Yahoo Messenger, but much better. There are no ads. Also no one can get into our chat space (our NB Writers Safeworld) unless I (or whoever is running the server) lets them in. This totally eliminates spam.

It is called Safeworlds, because you could easily set up a world for your children to communicate with their friends, and no sex pervert can log in to prey on them, as only the people you want will be able to log in.

The reason you haven't heard of it is because it is only a few months old. I program with a language called REBOL. A programmer on the REBOL email list created Safeworlds, and those of us that program with REBOL are using it to speed up our helping each other solve programming problems. It is really great, especially if you need help right now, and can't wait.

You will find more information on the Safeworlds web site:

http://www.safeworlds.com

I have divided the NB Writers Safeworld into the following areas:

NOTABENE SPECIFIC AREAS:

General editing issues.
Ibidem issues.
Orbis issues.
Lingua issues.
Academic style issues.
Bookwhere issues.
Template issues.
Grammar issues.

GENERAL WRITING AREAS:
Grammar issues.
Ask an editor --- I'm hoping an editor or two will volunteer to answer questions.
WIP (Works in progress) where we can cheer each other on.
POD (Print on demand books) issues.

OTHER AREAS:
Chit Chat --- off topic about whatever; get to know your friends.
All --- announcements, etc. for everyone.

Other areas can easily be added as needed.

Even if no one else is logged on, you can leave a message and others will receive it when they log on.

The software includes both public and private checklists. You can make a to-to list for yourself only, or for everyone. Other features will be added soon.

If you have trouble installing the software of logging on, please let me know.

Remember, this is the information you need to log on after installing the software:

World Name: NB Writers
Username: Guest
Password: pass

Once you log on, click on the accounts group, and give:

1. Your complete real name.
2. Your email address.
3. A short user name you would like to use (otherwise I'll use your first name and last initial.

Louis
