I am the proprietor of the OpenEuphoria Group (https://openeuphoria.org/). We make maintain the Euphoria programming language: a general-purpose interpreted programming language with a simple syntax and flexible type system.
The original developer released Euphoria 3.0 as open source in 2006 and the new group was formed to continue development. And they were quite successful for a while. Euphoria 4.0 was released in 2008 with many new features. But after a few more patches, the original group effectively disappeared around 2015 and version 4.1 was never released officially.
I took over ownership of the domain and website in 2018, then migrated the code hosting to GitHub (https://github.com/OpenEuphoria) and started digging into continuing development. The hosting and domain registration cost me about $100/year, some of which is paid by donations from the community. But money isn't really the concern; what I need is time.
I've been using Euphoria for over 25 years but I only started working on its development in the past few years. If I could do this full time I would, but right now I can only put in a few hours a week and I'm not even sure how viable Euphoria could be as a means of income.
We need at least one or two more actively involved volunteers who can help get version 4.2 out the door. And after that we need to rebuild the website, finish migrating to GitHub, and focus on new features and development tools.
