I have posted this as news - but am also posting it here as Im an impatient bugger :-)

'losing' only has one O
sorry :-)
-
Bah - pedant... ;-) Well technically both are correct: :-P
For example:
Realise can be spelt Realize. Go to any newspaper, they have a house spelling book to make sure they use consistent spelling throughout... ok maybe I am clutching at straws :-P
But anyway, have you added you're pin to a map? :-D

I am a pedant, yes. However 'loosing' is not correct.
I can loose a volley of arrows, or loose the hounds (in a Mr Burns styleeee!).
But in the context in that document, you mean 'lose' or 'losing'.
You lose your marbles, or you lose your wallet, but you never 'loose' them :-)
Go and look in a dictionary :-)
If its any consolation, its a very common error, one that I see all the time, as well as people using apostrophes to form plurals, when they should only ever be used to show omission or possession.
I was only trying to be helpful!
Realise can be spelt Realize.
Correct
Go to any newspaper, they have a house spelling book to make sure they use consistent spelling throughout... ok maybe I am clutching at straws :-P
Well, they have a style guide, yes.
But anyway, have you added you're pin to a map? :-D
:-P
edit: But admittedly, I do teach English as a profession, which explains why I am analogically retentive about it ;-)
And I've completely hijacked your announcement. Sorry about that :-)

:sealed: :rtfm:

That is a really good idea for a site actually. Amiga certainly is a platform where everyone needs to be a developer to help keep it afloat. In fact, I think that is what has already happened to date (Aminet, for example).
Nice one!

Ok, a new MAP has been added.
One which will allow you to post that you have an A1 seperate of any dev or testing team.
