Re: A squeak from the Peanut Gallery
Hi Travis,
thanks for this. You *have* just contributed to the project.
All successful projects have a vision that is shared by its team, and you
have added words to our vision. A part of the documentation for this
project will be a "charter" document - I'm currently working on the
draft - which will, among other things, describe the team's vision. Can I
paraphrase you in the charter ...
"We will attempt to maintain the simplicity of use, in keeping with the
essential nature of the Euphoria language."
cheers,

Subject: A squeak from the Peanut Gallery
| Hello All!
|
| I am glad to see that win32lib has turned into a
| community project, as it will no doubt greatly
| accelerate the advancement and power of the
| library. This is no slam toward Mr. Cuny; I am
| sure he has many more pressing matters than
| win32lib! 
|
| I would love to help out with the project.
| Unfortunately, my current work, my lack of solid
| Internet access, and my sheer lack of programming
| knowledge in the Windows arena, would make me a
| rather unproductive member of the team.

| I would like to make a motion as far as the
| project goals are concerned, though. It may be a
| good idea to have a goal as follows. "We will
| attempt to maintain the simplicity of use which
| Mr. Cuny has thusfar delivered to it, in keeping
| with the simple nature of the Euphoria
| language." Or something like that ... I'm not
| the best orator in the world. Basically, work on
| the idea that the end user will have less
| programming experience than you.
|
| This I ask for those out there like me who are
| fifteen years behind the "C" crowd. I'm
| currently learning C++, so I understand a tad-bit
| of the Windows code, but not near enough to
| access any dll's. I'm sure that there are many
| out there like me, perhaps quite a few. Hence
| the original appeal of win32lib.ew -- I could
| just read the documentation and pop open a
| window, without having to worry about getting my
| hand stuck in the gears.
|
| I'll be looking forward to reading about
| progress. Good luck and happy hunting!
