In light of Wayne's thread Id like to say this to all the lurkers: If you dont post and get involved there will be no site to lurk on in 5 years..
Recently I have been trying to focus on what I consider the most important part of using the Amiga; development. Without new development, fewer and fewer users, old and new, will be drawn to the platform.
So, I have been trying to write posts about developing on the Amiga platform. If anybody else wants to help A) make that easier and B) enlighten folks like myself with your knowledge before it's gone, the Amiga will be a better place
If you have coding examples, link them. If you have projects or open source stuff that folks can contribute to, do so. I think the Amiga is a great platform for learning C and working on stuff. The problem is really finding help on dev docs beyond just autodocs. Examples are desperately needed.
Getting started in C, with GCC, in WinUAE or a modestly upgraded Amiga, is easy. Start with the ADE package I uploaded to aminet a while back.

Instructions
=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Extract the .zip wherever you'd like the environment to exist. Add the
following lines to your S:User-Startup (or other startup script)
; BEGIN ADE
Cd Sys:ADE ; Or wherever you extracted it
Execute ADE-Startup
Cd Sys:
; END ADE
Changing Sys:ADE to path to the directory where ADE was extracted.
Performing the commands manually or restarting the computer at this
point gives you a working development environment to start with
This file is currently in .zip format. I am fairly certain I will convert it to .lha for those who exist solely in Amiga land.
