To your list of features I would add products, inventory, and invoicing
(accounting).
I don't disagree that developing a nice business application would be
good. However, in order to "push" the language with that kind of
application, you'll need thousands of users. Imagine a website using
EUPHORIA as a CGI. I'm pretty sure on fast hardware it could handle a
few thousand posts per second/minute/whatever.
The best way to push the language would be to develop a multi-player
game that can be played via the internet. It doesn't have to be 3D
graphics! That's not what my concern is. My main objective is to find
out if it can handle the processing required to manage 10s or 100s of
users at the same time, all doing something in "real time." THAT is how
you find out if EUPHORIA is robust enough.
P.S. Having said that, I would LOVE to have a EUPHORIA business
management software package (especially with source) here at the office!

P.P.S. You can mark me down as a willing participant for the moment.
