Multi user wasn't an original "request", you just said
you didn't like EDS. However, multi-user is very easy
to simulate via your RDMS interface.

If you takes you a few days to debug fine. But if you
want to decrease that time, try porting a Pascal or C
CGI lib that has already been tested. You are only
trying to add one function to an _already_ existing
CGI lib. This is a simple and quick task, especially
if you cheat. :)

We have all heard of sourceforge. As of 5 minutes
ago, there were exactly 11 Euphoria projects hosted
there. 4 of them were never really that active. Some
of them have never had a release. That is pitiful in
my opinion. Does this fact indicate that the Eu
community has never worried about "Lots of versions"
before? You decide. But if you decide this is a
problem, you could start to rectify the situation by
hosting your next project somewhere like sourceforge.
The archive is a great idea, please don't get me wrong
about this. The only problem, in my opinion, is that
it really doesn't foster community projects. This can
lead to projects going stale way too early.

I believe this might be an opportunity for improvement
here. Have you considered adding a mini "sourceforge
like" project management to http://rapideuphoria.com?
Say one that _only_ hosts EU projects? Even if it had
less features than SF it could still be useful...
Just a thought.

Here is a Linux example... What is needed is a
cross-platform sockets lib. I would consider porting
http://www.rapideuphoria.com/socketlib.zip to use
winsock if I had a windows machine. But I don't and
won't.

I see in the archives you have contributed some code.
So, I'll assume that you are a motivatied programmer
and I'll offer you a challenge. I have a fairly good
start on such a library. I'll start a new project for
it on sourceforge today. (The process takes several
days to complete). When I get the ok from
sourceforge, I'll post the information about the
project here. Then I'll match you function for
function for any useful addition you write. Do you
want to participate? If you do, in no time at all you
will have that dream lib you crave. C'mon! It will be
fun! :)
