>AmiZilla US$ 4000 fund

Hello
If there is a similar US$ 100,000 fund for OpenSource Amiga software developments, which software projects should be given priority?

Is it GeekGadget, OpenOffice, AbiWord, GTK, X-Windows, or others?

Is it better to port "commercial" portability tools first? (such as MKS, Bristol, QT others)

>Linux library -recompile

Hello
I got similar problems with MPLAYER, involving buggy GCC compiler (W_Char), buggy ID3 TAG program, Cassowary, unfinished LIBDVDNav, in-compatible library version etc.

If you got special hardware (ie AMD, Pentium CPU without MMX), then the program may not run or run slowly.

Perhaps this is an opportunity for AmigaDE (AMP capability) + Utility computing.

If AmigaDE is ported to AROS / Linux, perhaps if someone need a program, he can order automatic cross-compiling using Utility computing, without downloading source / libraries.

The user will receive complete pre-compiled binaries, optimized for his computer/PDA/ preferences.
