Subversion Repository for Euphoria

I have now managed to set up a Subversion repository
for Euphoria on SourceForge. I imported all of the
files in my (extended) C:\Euphoria directory, including the
source code, demo programs, standard included files, htx
subdirectory etc. so anyone can check out the latest 
development version of these files.

The Euphoria project is located at:

   http://sourceforge.net/projects/rapideuphoria

Under the Code menu on that page you will find:
   Subversion
   Subversion Browse
   Subversion Stats

The SourceForge documentation for Subverson is at:
   http://sourceforge.net/docs/E09

If you want to check-out or check-in files
using Windows, I recommend that you install 
the TortoiseSVN GUI Subversion client. It extends
the file browsing capabilities of XP so it's
easy to check things in and out, and do other
SVN operations as well.

If you wish to be enabled as a developer on the project,
with write permission, let me know. I'll accept any trustworthy 
person who seems to know what they are doing. Developers 
will use Subversion check-in/check-out to avoid stepping
on each other's toes.

If you want to modify the Euphoria package, you should 
post a message here so we can all discuss whether 
it's a good idea or not. Some things people have
already done, like porting to a new platform, 
extending the Translator to handle more C compilers, or
improving the installation process, are not too controversial,
and I would rubber stamp them, as long as they do not
cause damage to existing functionality, for instance
as long as the new code is properly contained 
inside #ifdef's for that platform. I'm hoping those people
will check out the relevant source, test their changes,
and check in the new source without needing too much
assistance from me.

Since most of us are just learning to use Subversion,
I'm sure we'll have a few problems initially, and
we might even have to start over at some point.
I'm hoping eventually that several good developers will
emerge, and things won't depend on me so much.
