The OpenAmiga Standard

[filson]

Very nice proposal. I'd have to go with mdma on the lowlevel abstraction. that way it'll also be up to the developers of the platform to optimize code paths instead of laying this as a burden on the standard.

I can do html and servlet programming and that sort of stuff, but i suck at designing eyecandy. if you can get an artist to do the design, i can code it.

[filson]

BTW are you a guy or a girl?  I never did get an answer...

does it make a difference :-D
ok, here's the cut: designers are usualy women, coders are usualy guys (with a few exceptions -TM).
Now i'm a coder, so you do the math :-D

Never underestimate the power of suggestion  :-D  :-D  :-D

filson is a concatenation of my first and last name, where as my first name is Filip. So yes,  I'm a guy.

mdma, can you give me access to the web code?
It doesn't work under mozilla 1.4. that wont do much for an open standards page :-)

[filson]

Is there any reason why OpenGL 1.2 is mentioned?
Not being much of a gfx programmer I'm just currious why the spec  isn't OpenGL 1.4.

[filson]

We don't have to declare support for the extensions if thats to much of a huste to implement but at least OGL 1.3 would be nice. That way we could also make an effort against ports of old api's that never gets updated. but hey, thats just me ranting  ;-)

well then, you do what you feel you can contribute with, grandma. everything has to start somewhere.

would anyone throw a fit if i added a background of bloks of random "ant tracks" like it is now on the logo. its not that it looks very good but the background on the logo has a  hard time trying to blend in with the rest of the page. or maybe if it was possible to get the anttracks in an oval shape with the remaining area set to transparent?

I uploaded the new looks to the http://openamiga.tk
Give me some feedback if you like.

the issues with mozilla seems to be with the .tk domain.
don't exactly know why but maybe someone knows. i'll post when it's fixed.

[filson]

it's now been submitted to www.amiga.dk aswell.
hopefully it won't trash your mailbox, mdma  :-D

[filson]

Was the POSIX and MUI definite additions to the standard or just suggestions?

[filson]

What version of GCC would it then be?

[filson]

Maybe it would be better to create a seperate section for ppl to look at if they were in doubt of the meaning of the specification.
It can easily become very messy if all things have to be explained all together with the specification.  :-)

and it would make my life easier  :-D  :-D

Come check out our new web design.
IMHO it looks a bit more serious now. good thing to put behind the words.
