Problem is alot of people have donated to the bounty because of MiniMig. I don't blame them, a open source hardware project should deserve to get a open source OS.

I could be wrong but i think most people see MiniMig as a step in the right direction and not necessarily as the final solution... if they want an AGA miniMig they need at least 3.0.

The good thing of an open sourced 3.1 kickstart replacement would be that anyone who is knowledgable enough could work on an own 1.3 version from the source...

Am I right that this is in preparation for 68K emulation/integration?


No, it is in reference to the kickstart replacment actually.

I think it totally depends what you want to do with your amiga. if you want to stick to floppies/adfs/old games, 1.3, and if you want a hd installed system, 3.1 (or 3.9). others are useless (? anybody objecting to this please provide a good reason).

No, it is in reference to the kickstart replacment actually.  

Then the best option is 3.1. Any prior version of the AmigaOS is popular because some games work only with old kickstarts, a kickstart replacement of version 1.3 would not be able to run 100% of the games no matter how polished it is, because some games do direct calls to addresses in ROM space and there is no way to reproduce the exact same behavior. In the end minimig users can use a 3.1 kickstart repleacement to boot their machines and use whdload to load games that require prior kickstarts. Of course this means more RAM is a high priority on any minimig revision.
