Hello,
I figured I would post this here first, and maybe a few kind souls would
spread it around.
I have done most of the work for the PageStream Amiga version, and we
have had success here getting people to fire up and run it, but the
truth is I am just swamped with work and all of this time I have spent
on the Amiga version has made the rest of my work suffer greatly.
I am beginning to think that finding someone to help out with the Amiga
specific code (that would be Classic, OS4, MorphOS and even AROS) would
be to my advantage in the long run. This person would be responsible for
working on the MUI (or even later Reaction), and helping with the
debugging on those platforms. A few MUI classes need to be written, or
features extended, and general Amiga/MUI debugging.
Considering the size and sales of the Amiga market, this will certainly
not be some full time job. More like someone who is an Amiga enthusiast
who is proficient with MUI, and has free time that they would like to
profit from. All work would be done over the internet of course.
I'm flexible with regards to business arrangements. Either flat rate,
royalties, co-license, or some mix. I wouldn't expect this to net more
than a few thousand USD, unless by some miracle the Amiga makes a
significant comeback. I'm not looking to make a profit on the Amiga
myself at this point, but I won't be taking a loss either.
The code itself in question is a library layer that sits between
PageStream itself and the OS. The programmer won't be weeding through
PageStream code, or even hundreds of requester implementations etc. The
code is about 3.5mb in total, but that includes the Mac Carbon, Windows
and Gnome/gtk implementations as well. It compiles on its own, and can
be tested with the PageStream 5.0 binaries, or a few test apps.
If any of you have some thoughts on the matter as well, I would love the
feedback. Maybe I am nuts to even consider this...
