The classic users make up the biggest block of the Amiga community, it's what has kept the likes of Amigakit in business for almost 10 years. Yet what I don't understand is that with all this appetite for new and used hardware, it doesn't seem to translate into much desire for new software as well.
What we need here is some kind of bounty system like they already have in place for the NG Amiga's. It's understandable that most of the remaining developers choose to use their time and skills enhancing the new Amiga OS's, it's what the are passionate about. If we want these people to backport their software with all the extra hassle it entails using the ancient Amiga Workbench, then it's up to us classic enthusiasts to ask them nicely and get the bounty's organized and in place to pay them.
