1. EuWiki needs contributions
Hi,
Regarding EuWiki which resides in http://euwiki.ayo.biz,
there has been only 7 edits in the last 30 days, looks like
it's dying.
I didn't pay much attention to Euphoria, because IMHO, after the
opensourcing, there is still no much difference, no new feature votes,
no plan to add features to Euphoria which is still lacking (unicode,
multithread...)
However the domain ayo.biz is expiring on 17 Feb 2007 and I have no
other sites on the domain nor have any plan for it.
Therefore if anyone wants to continue EuWiki, would you please donate
some money for the domain name (around USD 9)? The hosting cost is OK.

I've been busy this week, but was taking random articles and doing editorial
work on them etc...

How do I get the money to you? Paypal?

You can use this link:
http://www.dreamhost.com/donate.cgi?id=6692
it goes directly to the hosting provider (and I use it for domains, too),
and it can't be cashed out so you can be sure your donation is not for my
personal use.
Thanks in advance!

I didn't know what EuWiki was so this prompted me to take a look. Some
interesting
reading on win32. I read that win32 controls should be atoms and I have been
them all as integers in my programs. Shocking if I have made a mistake. Could
someone more knowledgable than me expand on this?? Do I need to change all my
code to make them atoms?

What is the wiki reference for that statement?
If you are talking about the value returned by the win32lib function 'create()'
then it is not so. The ID for a control created with Win32lib should be an
integer.

You don't need to do that:
win32lib identifiers (control ids) are integers.
Windows handles are atoms that are not necessarily integers.
So, if you don't deal with handles, but only with ids, it is expected that
you use integers to hold these values.
If you use Windows handles in your program, then these have to be held
inside atoms. Otherwise, type check errors may occur.
By the way, Windows has control ids which are often the same as the
library's, but are limited to 65535. Hence, there may be issues with Windows
if you create more than 65535 controls in your app. This is assumed to be a
rare scenario, and the library can hardly help, as this is a Windows
limitation.

7. Re: EuWiki needs contributions
I saw your call for content post about the Euwiki, I love the wiki and thought I
would add some of my knowledge to it too. I added an environment variables
tutorial to the linux setup page.
I was just wondering what you all think of it. Was made right and is it easy to
understand for you?
Also I'm debating whether to keep my tutorial on the variables in Ubuntu
seperate or add it to the Linux setup page or make a page of it's own. On a
further note I think that maybe the "linux setup" should be a category with the
"install location", "enviroment variables", and etc. as pages within that. Then
the Ubuntu setup would be understandable. I just don't want to add it to the
"linux setup" page because I don't want it to get too cluttered. I just thought
it might be more structured this way.
ps:How do you join the wiki?
thank you

Derek, here is the text. Maybe I misunderstood what was being said.
Each window has a handle, a machine integer that uniquely identifies it.
When processing a window handle in some Euphoria code, always store it as an
atom, as it would not usually fit into an Euphoria integer. Handles of
destroyed controls may be recycled.

Ok ... handles must be atoms, id should be integers.
Handles are Windows generated values and ids are application generated values.
Usng win32lib, you (almost) never really have to deal with handles directly.
