Itsy bitsy input: I don't browse the web on my Amigas, so it wouldn't bother me at all if a new Amiga.org "broke" Amiga-based browsers, just as it wouldn't bother me if Amiga.org broke Mosaic or early versions of Netscape or Internet Explorer.

How is C: (as a Windows drive letter) any different from DF0:, Workbench:, SYS:, or any other label? There are pros and cons to both ways of doing things, e.g. in Windows, I don't have to create mountlists for new devices--they just work. (You shouldn't have to under AmigaOS, either, as long as the host adapter does it for you during autoconf, but that's not always the case.)

Anyhow, I think they can both be "bettered." The notion of devices, volumes, and hierarchical file systems is so 20th century. Storage should be seamless and transparent and make data available in a way that's intuitive to users. (Or at least, the operating environment should.)

@all

Keep Amiga.org simple, regardless of the direction it takes.

You could always do server-side rendering of the complex bits and return downlevel HTML to all clients.
