To all who wish, I am going to try an experiment. At 16:00 UTC on Saturday,
April 26. Let's all meet on #euphoria on irc.freenode.net ... If enough people
show, we can hold a moderated discussion over some of the important issues we've
all been discussing yesterday and today.
I *think* 16:00 UTC will give most people an opportunity to participate. It's
going to be impossible to negotiate a time amongst all of us, unfortunately.
If enough people show up, we can hold a moderated discussion. What I mean by
moderated is not censored, but moderated. For instance, I'll have a list of
topics that need to be discussed. I'll then list them on the channel and ask if
anyone else has a topic that needs to be discussed. We will then have a master
list of topics. We will then go right down the list and talk in an orderly
fashion about each topic.
I've never done such a thing, but at first thought it seems like it could be
very productive. I may be wrong, but I am going to give it a try.
BTW... I am on #euphoria on irc.freenode.net now. I have been hanging out in the
channel. Some have stopped by. You can join any time you would like, doesn't have
to be Saturday at 16:00 UTC, but that's when the group discussion will start.

2. Re: IRC discussion
I used to be online every day in the Euphoria chat room on sorcery.net, but it
eventually died. 
I think it's a good idea to try it on irc.freenode.net
because sorcery.net doesn't seem to have many actual programmers on it.
Occasionally, people would show up wondering what euphoria was about, and as soon
as we started confusing them with technical computer stuff and explain that it's
a programming language, they would leave! Heheh.
I like the idea of real-time chat with other euphoria programmers so we can
discuss ideas. I'll try to be there tomorrow.
