Re: Definitive list of Euphoria libraries?

So you know how there's NuGet.org and CPAN (for Perl) and CRAN (for R) and is it CTAN for TeX. Is there a list somewhere of libraries for Euphoria? For the Exercism track it'd be nice to be able to include in the learning resources where all the stuff can be found: Jean-Marc Duro's and Jeremy Cowgar's and Greg Haberek's libraries and all that.
This is one of the areas where you're starting to get too far ahead on Exercism compared to where we're at with the stability and lifecycle of Euphoria as a project. We do not have a definitive list of anything because things have been falling apart for the last decade. We need a good package management system and a repository for those packages but most importantly we need package authors and maintainers, and that includes people to build and operate the package system itself.

A pacakage system for Euphoria would be great. I do agree that Euphoria does need help and needs to be overhauled a bit. Even the site(rapideuphoria) needs to be done. Get Euphoria up and current is a big task though. Hopefully 4.2.0 will help some. I was also skimming over the Windows API, I remember there being dicussion of how even Win32lib could use a overhaul too. Something that would work for modern windows. With Windows 10 and beyond, having WSL, it is possible to test for both Windows and Linux. I'm not really familiar with the Linux API at all though. I wouldn't mind starting a new win32lib or at least attempting a package manager for Euphoria.
