Eventually, it will be, but like I said earlier, not much actually gets 
done through here. At least not in terms of collaborative efforts. Once 
it's established, and well organized, and we've worked out the kinks. 
Everyone will be invited to participate.

Also, because collaboration within the mailing community is minimal, and 
the whole reason people are in the mailing list and not in the chatroom, 
is because they don't have time, which also means they don't have time 
to devote to a cooperative project.
Besides, it's been tried, and failed.

There was no versus.

Chatting and mailing are two completely different, independent mediums. 
I was not inferring that the mailing is not as useful as the 
chatroom, but that the chatroom _does_ have relevance.

Mostly, I'm just sick of seeing the same bickering, and nothing come of 
it. This current EuForum fiasco "What we need" has been going on for 
years, and has not changed one bit. I'm just as guilty as everyone else, 
but I sought out the chatroom, so that I might actually be able to DO 
something about it, instead of just talking about it.

Took the EuForum at least 3 years to bicker about not having a chatroom, 
before someone finally got fed up.

Both are useful, and is why I'm am a part of both. The mailing list is 
good for getting mass opinions, and for a knowledge database.
The chatroom is good for realtime help, and for peer interaction.

The fact that the mailing list is docile, is nothing unusual, it's a 
characteristic of the community style.

The mailing list is abstracted interaction, not to mention an extremely 
drawn out, tedious process of communication, _especially_ when 
considering trying to coordinate a group project.

The chatroom is immersed interaction, meaning, I can tell you, "it 
doesn't work", then you can say "well, why not, what error did it give 
you!? what line number? how am I supposed to know what the problem is, 
if you don't give me any specifics?", I say "oh duh! :P XXX error, on 
line blah".

3 lines of communication...
a potential week of emailing.
a few minutes in the chatroom.

(ya, you laff at my example :). but it happens all the time!)

There is also the benefit of realtime previewing of code in progress.
I can be working on a project, and show off a chunk to someone, and 
often, others will spout out a better way.
Not only do I get the better method, but I also get a detailed 
explanation of why it's better, and if I still don't understand, the 
person is right there, and can fully explain it to me. In the duration 
of this process, I'm not wasting days, figuring out why I should change 
my code, or how to adapt to the new code.
Information exchange is tenfold, if not more.


Again, I never said EuForum is not good. It's just not suitable for much 
more than a general msg board, with the added benefit that you can have 
the msg's delivered, instead of having to view them online.

EuForum is a resource, the chatroom is a tool.

Anyways, excuse my ranting... :/

Everyone also needs to understand that the difference is also 
preference. Most people can't participate in a chatroom on a regular 
basis, others can't communicate well through turn based msg'ing.
For myself, I am lucky enough to have the freedom to be in the chatroom 
during work, so I am generally there most of the day. I've learned more 
about EU, and coding in general, not to mention all kinds of other 
aspects of computer tech, since March, than I have in the entire 3 years 
I've been using EU and participating in the mailing list.

As a prime example of what I'm talking about. How many of you replied to 
the "Popularity Contest"? How many of you are gonna sit there on yer 
tush and say "yeah, what a great idea", and how many of you are gonna 
actually get out of yer chair, and stand up for what you want!?

This idea is NOT a new idea. I've proposed it before, a _few_ times 
already. There is no reason we can't do it, except for the fact that 
either:
A:// people are too lazy to care
B:// due to the nature of the mailing list, we can't collaborate well 
enough to decide on anything
C:// people simply _don't_ care

I think I saw a total of 3 or 4 replies, and none of them offered their 
donations, only 'better' ideas. It doesn't matter how good the idea is, 
if that's all it will ever be.


Prove me wrong.

Donations? of code? of ideas? 
D:// people figure the idea will be shot down so why bother?

Any response is better than no response.
How is anyone supposed to know if there is anything good (or bad)to be 
had, if nobody pipes up, in either direction.

The lack of response, for whatever reason, is also a docile approach, 
and produces the same effect.

Chris:

  We are on this list because YOU wanted to move to this list !
  Here is an excerpt from and old post that I qoute.

-------------------------------------------------------
Date:         Wed, 24 Jan 2001 17:53:13 -0500
From: Robert Craig <rds at RAPIDEUPHORIA.COM>
Organization: Rapid Deployment Software
Subject:      Moving The List
To: EUPHORIA at LISTSERV.MUOHIO.EDU

Chris Bensler set up a mailing list called EUforum
at topica.com and he invited me to check it out.
Over the past several days, I've tested all the features
and it looks very good. It has an archive with searching,
a Web interface for posting or viewing messages,
plus the usual immediate, or digested e-mail distribution
and posting. It has everything that this list has.

-------------------------------------------------------

  What was the point of moving to this list ? You argued that
  it would improve the list at that time and now you want to
  create another list.
  Not every user is interested in everything that you are
  interested in. You seem to think that you are the only person
  on the list who has correct method of doing things and the
  other users can't collaborate well enough to decide on anything.
  Some of your code is same type of code that was used in libraries
  that I and many users wrote 3 years ago, so what is so new about
  your contributions ?

  Fragmenting the list is not helping Euphoria or any user on
  this list.

6. RE: New Euphoria Users Website

First of all, did you notice that in your excerpt, Robert Craig said I 
'invited' him?  I am by no meas any kind of authority, nor do I choose 
to be. To infer that Robert Craig was overly swayed by _my_ complaining, 
doews not say much about him. i'd like to think that he is quite a bit 
more intelligent than that.

The choice to move to Topica was not mine. Granted it was my suggestion, 
but after all the bickering about moderation, and the flame wars that 
couldn't be stopped.. things needed to be done.
I took time out of my schedule to find a better solution, did YOU? 
Just because I offer something, that does not mean that is the 'LAW'.

(BTW, FYI, the population of the EU mailing list jumped almost %50 
within a 1/2 year of moving to Topica.)


BUT it sure would be NICE if people at least responded. In whatever 
form. It's bad enough I have to wait sometimes more than 2 weeks to get 
a reply to a common question( or at least to peice together the info 
I've gotten from the mailing list). It really sucks, when you are trying 
to do something for the benefit of everybody, and noone can even take 
the time to say, nah.. Instead, I have to wait 2 or 3 weeks before 
realizing that noone cares.


Noone is fragmenting anything..
Whatever offshoots of the EuForum community there are, have little to do 
with me. If you are talking about the chatroom in general, it is not an 
alternative for the mailing list, it is a supplemental tool.

And I didn't say that people had to agree with what I say. If that was 
the case, there wouldn't be much point in saying it, would there?

I could really care less if other people get free stuff from RDS.

I know that more than half of the mailing list, are not registered 
owners of EU, so I can understand them feeling "out of place" to comment 
on an idea like the "Popularity Contest".

But there are more than enough registered users, and I'm SURE, that  
more than half of us don't even use our RD$ donations. Myself included, 
which is what prompted the idea in the first place.
So what's the big deal? Who cares if the idea IS a bust? Are we gonna be 
hurt for trying? At least if we TRY, we have a chance of success.

In any event, it seems pretty ironic that we all want Robert Craig to do 
something about the language, but not many of us have attempted to take 
any initiative.

Yes, I know that time is a factor. but there are still things we can do, 
instead of just inventing ideas, and then throwing them away.

7. RE: New Euphoria Users Website

Personally I like the language and community the way they are.  IMHO, if
Robert felt threatened by the competition enough to be afraid of his
business failing, I expect he would take whatever initiative necessary
to increase the size of the community.  No programmer worth their mettle
is going to say that Euphoria is the perfect language for every task. 
We all know its shortcomings, as much as we all know its strengths. 
Based on the comments, or lack thereof, from RDS, I must conclude that
Robert is satisfied with the business as it stands and is not in any
hurry to inspire an explosive growth in the user base.  I'm inclined to
agree.  If or when that changes, I'll be the first to jump on board.

8. RE: New Euphoria Users Website

I understand your perspective Michael, and it's not often I have seen 
you jump on the bandwagon in terms of the periodic rants that happen. 
But regardless of that fact, not everyone agrees, and is why we end up 
with these spuradic outbursts of brainstorming. People wanting to make 
something better out of euphoria.

I personally, would rather not see any ranting, but instead see people 
committing to acheive the goals themselves. Obviously this is up to the 
indiviudal to decide.

The entire stem of this discussion is the fact that I for one, am one of 
those, who do want to see Euphoria live up to it's potential. Simply 
put, I realized quite a while back, that the chatroom is more 
productive. In terms of code output, and general enthusiasm for the 
language. This is MY cup of tea, maybe not yours, which is why we have 
BOTH a mailing list, AND a chatroom, not either/or.

By having the chatroom, I have a place to vent myself, without causing 
(all this) contention. This entire discussion would be a matter of 15 
minutes to 1 hour in the chatroom. Instead of 2 days.
Not to mention, I would get my point across, without being miscontrued, 
and getting into heated arguments.

Some of us are not satisfied to sit by and watch such a great language 
fall further and further behind the rest of the programming world.

If I sold you a bicylce, with one wheel, and you didn't complain. The 
next time you came in, do you think you would get a bike with 2 wheels, 
if I still have that one-wheeled bike? You better bet yer booty that yer 
gonna be stuck with that same unicycle again. I'll save the proper 
equipment for those who are going to complain, and make my life 
otherwise difficult. What motivation does Robert Craig have, to improve 
EU, if noone ever complains?

Do you think Bill gates will ever take the initiative to make MS Windows 
compatible with linux, and other OS's?
He MAY be considering it now, or in the future, because of the growing 
popularity of non-mainstream OS's. The development of these other 
systems, for the most part, is directly relevent to the rebellion 
against MonopolySoft.

[snip]

The eu community is as good as it is bad.
I don't know the details but from a guess I'd say that there are about
25 regular contributers to the mailing list.
People quoting 200, 300 or 400 subscribers are missing the point,
only about 25 people actually use it (post to it - or contribute!).

I encourage Chris to continue his approach at drumming up support
for furthuring Euphoria (I think he said something like "it's better
to try and loose than not try at all" ... not an exact quote but 
similiar, I agree with him)

Many others have tried and failed ... and many have moved on to 
other languages because of the lack of enthusiasm from other users.

Many are happy with what Euphoria is ... and don't see a need for 
change.  That's great.

But as I said way back when these threads started ...

if Euphoria isn't what you want now, and you personally can't change 
it the way you want it.  Then most likely it won't happen.

... so everyone is free to make their own choices.

But what can those of us do who want to push Eu into the 21st century? 
Drop Eu and go exclusively to Bach, yet submit the applications to the 
contribs pages as Eu programs? Each write our own interpreter and leave 
Eu?

My proxy at office would not let me connect to any sort of chat room,
and I can't bypass it because I'm on a local network. And I've no
Internet connection at home; when I buy a new computer this wil
hopefully change.
	I don't know if many people there are in the same sort of situation. If
so, the chat room could even unexpectedly turn out to be harmful to Eu
community, because it splits it.
