Distribute OpenEuphoria like a BBQ:
| raw | grill-your own | source-code only |
| small | quick takeout window | windows: WEE, tinEWG unix: WEE, euGTK |
| medium | sit-down | add wxEuphoria, win32Lib |
| large | buffet | add lots of stuff |
I can not find an argument for leaving WEE out of any o[ distribution.
I can not find an argument for leaving some kind of GUI toolkit out of any o[ distribution. Leaving out a GUI toolkit is like leaving your spare car tire behind because you couldn't decide on a full size tire or a compact emergency tire.
For windows using tinEWG is excellent for casual programmers. Its not a large include and gets the job done. I have started to look at upgrading tinEWG documentation to make it look like it belongs in o[.
For unix euGTK is a small include and is a natural fit.
For medium-large distributions add wxEuphoria and win32lib. Jean-Marc has shown with All-in-One that this just makes sense.
In a large distribution we can start including choices like REDY and euIUP.
What we want: pick from the menu; one download; one click and it installs; load WEE and you are programming.
Lots of room to argue about the details, but we need a target to aim for.

I second this idea. Also updates should be made to the tree, not as individual bits and bobs that you need to hunt for and download and install. Broadband's quick enough nowadays for this to be a major issue.
