@Wayne

Would it be possible for us to have a banner ad or something similar on amiga.org?

Maybe have a separate 'membership by request' forum?

@mdma,

Not sure what you're asking, but get me a banner and I'll be happy to put it up for you.

Thanks Wayne,

By 'memership by request forum'I meant have an OpenAmiga forum, that you can only post to if you ask for posting rights first.

That make sense? (I've just got back from hospital and my painkilers are kicking in now. I'm a bit mashed!)

Oh sure!  Just let me know what you need and find a moderator for it and I'll be happy to put it up.

@Rogue

Thanks for taking the time out to give us your opinions on OpenAmiga.

As you have said, these standards don't pose any threat to anyone. They just inform developers what they need to try and keep to if they want to maximize their potential sales.  This is a small market, and even smaller if it gets divided up into three separate markets.

@Rogue,

I certainly have no interest in arguing with you.  I find it very interesting to get your input and hope that you speak for both Amiga Inc and Hyperion in your acceptance of the effort.  If the OpenAmiga effort can start and be unburdened by Amiga Inc trying to kill it as they have done with other community efforts in the past, I would consider that a monumental step forward.

That being said, I digress.  

I don't view this effort as wanting to impose any petty proprietary packages such as MUI or Reaction.  I would see a standards committee as providing concepts and ideas of how things should work, not forcing people to accept one particular product or another.  If anything, I would see them developing a wholly independent solution where necessary.

That's just me however, feel free to disagree.

Your bang on Wayne! :-D

Apps could be written that have AOS4/MorphOS/AROS specific extensions, but still compile and run on the other platforms.

Isn't this the Amiga way afterall? If a library doesn't exist, then fine, your app still works, it just doesn't use the added functionality that the extra library would have given it.

The headers for the AmigaOS API's on our SDK CD will be from AROS anyhow. :-D
