A combination of Amithlon and WinUAE to provide backward compatibility and speed on modern hardware. What is needed more than anything else, is modern software that meets and exceeds the capabilities of other OSes and to accomplish that goal programmers must have all the tools necessary to create great software quickly and easily for the AmigaOS. How can we bring all the Amiga programmers together on a common modern Amiga platform and how can we entice the former Amiga programmers to come back and work on new Amiga programs again?
Amiga has a great wealth of software in archives such as Aminet, but how much of that software is truly useful today? Some Open Source software may be able to be ported to the AmigaOS, but what made the Amiga special during the "Glory Days" were the creative minds of Amiga programmers that were inspired to create software that had not been dreamed of before.
The new Amiga must do all the things that Windows, Linux and Mac computers do and many new things that the others currently don't do, or can't do. The new Amiga must solve human problems, or offer new services that have not been thought of yet. To make any kind of impact in the minds of people that use other OSes, the new Amiga must have some kind of "WOW" factor. Something that will make them sit up and take notice of what is being offered that is so much better and different that it will be seen as a breakthrough, just as the original Amiga was when it was introduced. This time it will not be because the hardware is unique and better, it will be because the OS and the applications written for it are so revolutionary and superior. The philosophy of doing more with less naturally makes for a more efficient design.
