Hi Gianfranco,

This has been mentioned on the list from time to time and as far as 
I can remember everyone agrees that it would be a good idea.

I don't beleive RDS will distribute users code ... especially 
unstable user code ... as part of the official Euphoria distribution!
(This is the only sensible option btw)

This means a third party would need to do it.
This person would need to put a large amount of work in initially 
followed by a small amount of work over a long period of time to keep
it updated.

No one has volenteered for the job yet!

I'm sure all developers would be happy for you to make a combined 
distribution (obviously with the RDS public domain edition - check 
first!)

... so it's a good idea, it's been talked about before ... but no one 
has done it.

Other Notes:
There are now more than 1 GUI library and editor available as well.
Which one(s) should be included/excluded?

Regards,

Ray Smith
