Possibly (probably) some of these ideas we are having "fame only" contests, awards etc should be organised and run by someone other than Rob? The problem is who??? Anyone that has created even a simple web site (that should be almost everyone!!!) knows how much effort is required. Just imagine how much effort is required to set up a contest, answer questions, test entries and keep everyone up to date. For the "awards" based ideas it almost has to be user vote based as "best" is very subjective. I think "somehow" we should be looking at ideas of creating a Euphoria "community" that isn't based around the mailing list. The mailing list scares to many people away by the shear amount of emails and in depth discussions. I have no idea what or how but it seems like a nice idea!!! As a side note: I had a bit of a look around the Euphoria Web ring and found lots of dead links or web pages that have no mention of Euphoria anymore. Someone mentioned this a month or two ago ... should the "web ring" owner be given to some individual other than Rob??? I guess my "thoughts" are how can be build more interest in Euphoria while leaving Rob alone to work on the core Euphoria language. Ideas anyone? Ray Smith http://rays-web.com
