Thanks, now we have 4 people working on parts of this.
For starters, until someone comes up with a better idea,
I will try to divide things into 3 sections:

 1. Euphoria FAQ - what is Euphoria, who is behind it, other history.

 2. Euphoria Hints - how to do (whatever) when the aanswer doesn't
require much
    or any code. Lots of these question can be gleaned from the
listserver.

 3. Euphoria Snippits - like the old Pascal SWAG, except with a nice WWW
    interface. Short routines that everybody neede sooner or later. I
think
    it will be important to format the code in a standard way, to make
reading
    and understanding easier, and each snippet should have a test stub
to
    prove the function and demonstrate the calling method. Obviously,
the
    more comments the better.

This should be *really* important if the Linux guys happen to join in.
They will be asking the same questions all over again.

If anyone knows of a really nice FAQ site, please let me know.
I'm not too proud to steal a good idea.

Thanks for your help: Contacts for the FAQ will be posted on my web
site,
tonight, and code can be uploaded there at any time it's convenient.
(Email it if you prefer.)
