The whole reason there is a Phix, OOEU, Open Euphoria, Bach, and others is that RDS would not add the new features to Euphoria.

RDS? That was years ago. Or perhaps you meant to say Open Euphoria ?!?
No, all these alternative Euphorias cropped up starting back then. Every one i mentioned started (and some ended) before RDS made Eu open-source. You asked "why did Pete break away in the first place?", and the answer is : "RDS didn't include any of those improvements into Euphoria, and was never going to". The same with the others.

So, what about now? Open Euphoria is an open-source community project, and it has been for some time. Could Pete's project (or part of it) not be merged with the main project? This was actually the gist of my original question: why two parallel projects? Pete is obviously a talented programmer, and he would be a valuable resource for the main OE project.
