Hi All, I'm ready to receive content for my Survey idea. Can anyone interested please email me their list (privately - just so as not to flood the list). My email is smithr at ix.net.au I=92ll collect all (if any!!) content and create a draft survey that I wi= ll post hopefully sometime this weekend to be reviewed by anyone interested. If all goes well next week we can get people filling it in!! Please try to submit content that will fit into a survey format, eg. a question with specific answers. I want to try to keep the format to 3 categories. Category 1. Rating 1-4 where 1 - Excellent: I have been waiting for this feature and will use it no= w. 2 - Good: I will use this feature in the near future 3 - Average: I might have use for this feature sometime 4 - Poor: I will never ever use this feature. Category 2 Specific answers from a list, eg. Which version of Euphoria do you use most? DOS32 Windows Linux Or even What platforms would you like to see Euphoria support? BeOS Mac Solaris Other: Please specify _______ Category 3 Free form, eg What other suggestions do you have? This should be used as "infrequently" as possible. I plan on splitting the survey into: * General Questions: See below for a start. * Base Euphoria (language) enhancements: eg, Namespaces. * Libraries/Tools If any of the library/tool writers want to ask questions like: Do you currently or will use the {place your library name here} library i= n the future? Please ask me to add it. For the larger type projects Win32Lib and the IDE I think it =93could=94 = be beneficial to ask a few more questions like what features are considered important. My current =93General=94 type questions (as posted previously) include: (Please email me anymore you think would be appropriate) What platform(s) do you currently use Euphoria on? DOS32 Windows Linux What (currently available) Euphoria ports are you likely to use in the future?
