Amiga.org Downloads section now online
« on: June 09, 2002, 12:57:23 AM »
Greetings one and all.  With the release of the AWeb source code, I thought it prudent to open up the Amiga.org Downloads section on the site to begin offering files from one centralized location.  We're looking for people willing to help populate and manage the new section, so chime in..

Update: Permission problem should be fixed.  Registered users only.

I don't understand why opening a software download section has got anything to do with the opensource of Aweb.
Technically?  It doesn't.  It just sounded like a good excuse.  Wait until next week when I unveil the Amiga.org SourceForge engine.

Mainly, because we already have aminet and people know that whenever they want something "Amiga" thats were they go.
I never, ever intend to slight Urban and crew.  I think for the last x years, the job they've done has been very admirable.  I just feel that the Aminet concept is about 10 years past it's prime and desperately unusable (at least to me).  This is not intended to reflect on Urban, this is more a reflection of the lack of update and change over the last 10 years.  Oh, wait, I forgot, you Amiga users don't actually **like** change, do you.... :-P

Our little thing is not intended to replace the Aminet.  For a fact, it will carry mostly useful files such as drivers, etc.  We certainly wouldn't have the hard drive space for another Aminet to begin with.

Our SourceForge implementation on the other hand...  Very much intended to give developers a place to build their projects and work with teams...  Once projects are done, why not store them here?

When a project is finished or has a major release version it could still be uploaded to aminet.
Well gee, if you're going to give me all this incentive to do this, why should I even fricking bother?

"Thanks for going through all the work of making it incredibly easy to create, moderate, and develop things! Now I can take my files and distribute them from another site.  Your efforts don't really need any incentive to continue or improve but hey ....  I really appreciate your efforts".

Makes perfect sense to me.   :-?
