The registration on ListFilter.com was ending soon,
so I started thinking about either keeping the
domain name "ListFilter.com", or choosing something else
that would be more appropriate, now and in the future.
Names like "euphoria.com", "euphoria.org", etc. are all taken.
I thought about RapidEuphoria.org, but now that
Euphoria is open source and free, I think
OpenEuphoria.org is a better name. Besides,
people would never remember the difference
between RapidEuphoria.com and RapidEuphoria.org
My apologies to those who already started using
the name OpenEuphoria, for their version of Euphoria
a few years ago. There doesn't seem to have been
any activity on that project for quite a while.
So, wherever you had bookmarked, or otherwise
recorded "ListFilter.com", please change it to
OpenEuphoria.org, e.g. in your RSS readers.
I was very surprised at how quickly all this happened,
so I wasn't able to warn everyone. I thought I'd have
several days to change things over.

Congrats on a pretty smooth transition. Under Opera, since I disable scripting
on all untrusted/unknown sites, I had to enable scripting on OpenEuphoria.org to
match what I previously had for ListFilter.com.
(So if anyone reading thinks it just broke, check that.)

Apologies taken.
Since OpenEuphoria was a reaction against a perceived stiffness from RDS and
inability for users to get needed additions/changes into the language, it is not
inappropriate (for me) for you to recycle the name, since the openness is here
now, and since there has been hardly any activity indeed on that project for a
long while.
As the person who wrote the specs for OpenEuphoria (they are available at
http://oedoc.free.fr), I obviously hope that a sizable portion of these suggested
additions and changes will make their way into the language, and to contribute to
this end. Of course, changes which were accepted and wished by a minority of
dissenters won't all be allowed in by a larger user base. Detailed prior layout
of changes and careful listening to reactions/opinions/suggestions must be a
strict rule for open Euphoria, in my opinion.

Well, other than thinking the site was broken, no problem.

I wondered why I kept getting that error message - finally bothered to go to
rapideuphoria.com and get to the forum by that route.
Yeah, no problems here.
