Hi Chris,

Just 2 quick points:

1.  At least initially (and probably long term) I think Euphoria should remain 
minimal with respect to dependencies.  This makes the the language itself easier
to maintain and port to different OS's.

2.  I believe emphasis should be pushed towards cross platform tools.
For GUI's wxEuphoria would be my vote.  
I don't think it needs to be part of the base Euphoria install though.  
As time goes on maybe an "extended" version of Euphoria will be created which 
is the last stable release of Euphoria plus a number of useful libraries and
tools.
