1. "popularizing" Euphoria
I may have made this suggestion before, but seeing Greg Harris's "Etch a
Sketch" clone reminded me of this idea to gain and maintain "exposure" for
Euphoria.
ZD Net and many other sites post public domain, shareware and demo programs
for download. It strikes me that a number of programs and libraries
already available could be submitted to these sites together with the
current version of Euphoria, or the version used to develop the program.
Source code would be included of course. And the documentation could promote
Euphoria with references to the listserver and so on.
Talk of group projects is fun, but it stikes me as very difficult to
actually pull off. It might be easier to coordinate the public release of
Euphoria, programs, applications, tutorials, libraries, etc. on a regular
basis, say monthly.
Even if people do not immediately download one of the submissions,
repeatedly seeing in the item description, "written in Euphoria", "source
code and language included", should eventually arouse interest.
This could be done with a minimum of group "structure". Anyone on the list
can nominate a program to be so "published", the author can respond if he is
willing to have his work distributed in such manner and if so announce his
willingness to submit it.
Perhaps RDS has a list of sites to submit to.
Just some thoughts.

I'd really love to take the credit for this.. but you have the wrong
Greg. Greg Phillips wrote the "Etch a Sketch" program. Thanks for the
mention anyway ;)

Useless fact of the day:
Slinkys were invented by an airplane mechanic; he was playing with engine parts
and
realized the possible secondary use of one of the springs.
