I'm not sure about the visuals in the IDE since that's a lot of work for 
someone to be getting on with, but the idea of having an on-line 
snippets library is a great idea.

Richard already suggested something similar although I don't think his 
idea carried as far as integrating the snippets library from within the IDE.

There are already a couple of forums for Gambas (besides this list) but 
they are not too busy just yet, but having some kind of code library is 
a great idea, especially if people can edit out any bugs in code that it 
posted (The Wiki idea is a good one).
