Expanding Horizons

[admin]

If you guys have noticed, I've added another section to our site:  Expanding Horizons.

What this section is dedicated to is for any and all library creators to have a nice simple place to post and curate their work.  *.BI and *.BM libraries are useful expansion which allow QB64 to do things that it couldn't do before, and it's an easy way for *anyone* to contribute to the language -- so there should also be an easy place place where they can easily keep, maintain, and make available their stuff.

If you're a creator of *BI or *.BM libraries, and you want to share them with the rest of the world, post me a comment here and I'll set you up your own little corner of the web -- with full moderator rights and authority there -- and you'll have a spot to highlight and maintain all that you do and share.

Wow Steve, guess you can read my mind, and that half around the world.

That is exactly, what I was thinking about to post in the "Site Suggestion" board right now, but by checking the latest posts, I see you did already.

So yes, please set up my little corner there...

@RhoSigma Already have, and you already have moderator status there. https://qb64phoenix.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?fid=23

I hesitate to chime in, I did a header translation for Windows of LibTomMath https://www.libtom.net/ and a partial of the intel decimal floating-point lib
but no-one showed any interest in the other forum, so just ignore me

@Jack If you want your own little corner of the web to host it, just speak up and let me know.  It only takes a moment to make a dedicated forum for someone and to give them moderator rights there.

Or, if you prefer, I'll put up a "Various Contributors" forum, and you can post it there for now, and I can always make you a dedicated forum once you have more stuff to put in there besides just a single thing.  

Choice is yours -- I'm rather easy to get along with.

I like your second option, if there's enough interest in my stuff then I may ask you for my little corner, thanks for your generous offer

How's the "One Hit Wonders" sound to you?

Well put me and TheBOB down for a sub-forum when you get around to it. I'll upload TheBOB's stuff in his, and gather up some SCREEN 0 goodies for mine. I'll even include for free a graphics GUI. Now I have to take a shower.

Expanding Horizons is for Library creators to share their work, Pete, so that others can find their archives and make use of them -- not so much for individual programmers to have a spot to highlight their massive collection of work; though I do like that idea! How about a subforum for "Prolific Programmers", instead? A place where anyone with more than a half dozen programs/samples -- who wants their own spot on the web -- can ask for and get one.

I've got to admit, such a set up would've definitely saved me some time and searching in the past, when I knew ProgrammerX had wrote CodeY, but I couldn't find their dang work as it was lost in the shuffle!
