I keep reading on this list about how you are going to need
version control and all these developers are going to do
this and that.

My question is who are all these developers and where are they
going to come from.

I only know of maybe 3 or 4 users on this list that have the skills
to modify and incorporate changes into the source that would make
Euphoria improvements.

I think that this open-source rush to judgement is blinding a lot
of ordinary users into beleving that something magic is going
to happen to Euphoria and 100 new developers are going suddenly
to appear at RDS door demanding a copy of the source so they can improve it.

How many times has someone said "I'am going to develop a open-source
version of Euphoria" and it died on the vine ?

Euphoria has to be found and accepted by many more users then
it presently has. Mean while you wait for the developers to show up
you are going to lose all the users that develop libraries because
the incentive for developing the libriares will disappear; ie
micro-bucks.

PS: Maybe well be lucky and mike the spike will return to
    improve the langauge.
