The OpenAmiga Standard

[NewRevolution]

Can somebody please let me in on the loop here? There's a lot of termonology that I'm uncertain of:
MUI,  CGX, BSDSocket,  ELF......

And if you guys are gonna define a standard for OpenGL, why not also include Direct 3D?

And does ISO and IEEE mean anything for this discussion / idea?

Thanks!
I understand there are a lot of coders here. I'm no hardcore coder nor a graphical artis (though I do both) so I guess I can't participate too much either.

But, if new "standards" are to be made, document it - and do it carefully. Maybe use CVS? And for classes ans such, use UML diagrams? UML diagram are easy for system designers to understand, rather than trying to read the code.

If MorphOS and Amiga Inc is wants to adopt these ideas, and unless they all are coders, I think having some propper diagrams to mach the code will help making everything a bit more systematicall and "readable"

Anyway - a fantastic initiative guys! It looks like this might go somewhere.  :-D

May I come with a suggestion? For the website - openamiga.tk, for each "standard" that is to be made, could it be possible to describe it?

E.g. MUI, CGX, OpenGL - they all need to be defined. By that I mean there must be a common cencus / agreement of what these standards are, and then maybe have som more technical specs. about them - as they aredescribed  now.

I don't know much about these standards, but I'll bet different ppl have different views on these "artefacts".

And just a quick Q about the network part. Wouldn't there be a good idea to develop APIs for 802  LAN/MAN Standards? That also includes 802.11 (a and b) wireless. IIRC the A1200 had a PCMCIA port? Excellent for wireless! You can read more about these standards on www.ieee802.org

Can someone  summarize what have been said here? What have people agred to? What is the next step?

I'm trying to collect some some meat to put on the bone..um... info for OpenAmiga.tk  :-D

Nice banner: Hang on to it, I'm also a bit unsure if we can change the logos the way we have done.
We have to ask Amiga Inc. and MorphOS for their permission to use their logos I guess - especially in the way we have done.
