1. [needs fix'n] Github and Euphoria

Search for "openeuphoria" and you get 6 hits--but not the Euphoria language.

Search for "euphoria" and you get 347 hits (35 pages) of stuff; at least Euphoria the Language is found on the first page.

Github seems to think that Euphoria is written in the Eiffel language.

Or, Github thinks the most popular language used by Euphoria is "Python".

And, Github thinks "oe" is one of 9_317 results. Thus my versions of "oE" are worthless.

"u4ia" has one hit

"euforia" has 17 hits

changed tag from [bad] (as in it is "bad" that github needs upgrading to Euphoria)

Github, itself, is a useful tool for us.

The search results are categorized on the left, with "Repositories" being first and "Users" being last. "OpenEuphoria" is user, and it's the only result in that list.

If anything we should at least get Jeremy to mark his repo as private, since it's the top result and several years out of date.

I'll see if there are any GitHub SEO tricks to getting the main repo to show up on searches for "OpenEuphoria" as well.

This is good news! Search results seem to be ranked by stars. Quick, everybody go star the Euphoria repo right now, thanks!

It looks like there are ways to fix that: https://github.com/github/linguist#troubleshooting. Ideally we'd want to get Euphoria added as a language in there as well.

It's just going to report what it thinks it knows. See the link above for how we might be able to fix this.

I mean, it's two-character ligature. I'm surprised there aren't more results.

P.S. I don't think GitHub is bad. It offers a lot of neat and useful features. And as I've said before, if we want to appeal to wider audience, I think we should go where the talent is. We haven't got the star power to draw people to our own private Idaho.

3. Re: [Github bad] Github and Euphoria

I don't think Github is bad either. Also, Github is where a lot of open source projects are. I also think adding Euphoria to Github and gettting syntax coloring for Euphoria will help a lot. Instead of Euphoria projects being labeled as Eiffel projects.
