1. RE: Euphoria Chat Room - Brainstorming
You're right Ken, it's a great idea. We've already been discussing it in
the chatroom. We are thinking of having a tutorial workshop session for
newer users. Nothing is solid yet though, and probably won't be for a
week or so.
Currently there are about 8 or 9 regular visitors, and probably about 3
new faces pop in per day via the java client. The room is active almost
all day now :)
