In the Euphoria documentation, I read something about this "micro-economy= " of Euphoria. Recently, someone brought it up again. Can someone please explain this to me, nice and slow. I don't get it. --Alan =

Can someone please explain this to me, nice and > slow. I don't get it. The Euphoria Micro-Economy started a few months ago. You can read a full description of how it works at: http://members.aol.com/FilesEu/economy.htm In a nutshell, it's a system that lets registered users vote for programs on the RDS Web site (Recent Users page or Archive page) that they have found to be useful, or otherwise deserving of recognition. Each registered user can "vote" $1.00 per month *of RDS's money*. The 1.00 can go to one program (or file), or can be slit amongst several. The money can be used by the author of the program as a discount on future registrations or upgrades to Euphoria. Programs that have earned money have a "happy face" plus a number (of dollars) at the end of their description on the Web page. My guess is that for every $1 (of our money) that you donate to someone's program, you will typically trigger 10 hours of additional work on that program. You are buying a programmer's time for just 10 cents an hour! I'm hoping to see many more registered users voting. Don't worry about bankrupting RDS. Remember: it costs you nothing, and it encourages people to develop more of the kind of thing that you find useful. Registered users (of any release) can send an e-mail message to rds at msn.com State how you wish your dollar to be divided. List the title, the author and the amount. e.g. For the month of June I vote: XXXX by yyyy: 0.50 WWW by rrrr: 0.25 QQQ by eee: 0.25 Regards, Rob Craig Rapid Deployment Software
