Well I'm glad the legal issues surrounding the techniques have been discussed. As for the lack of willing/interested developers, as far as I can tell it is a huge task, and one where a team would be preferable. I am prepared to dig around some places we may find willing coders if I knew these things:
1. How are bounties split when there is a team (or if this hasn't happened in the past has this been discussed)?
Never been done before, the team members will have to figure it before they start work, and then inform Dammy.
2. Other than the clean room technique, what other legal methods of creating a kickstart replacement are there?
Firstly lets get something that POSTs the machine :-) all that requires is a Hardware Reference Manual and plenty of time/motivation... we make it compatible later ;-)
3. Was there a strong consensus on which would be the best (or easiest) method to use?
Yes... we need more 68k, Amiga hardware hacker devs. :-)
Other than the kickstart replacement bloodline, any AROS bounties you'd like to see?
Yes, actually... I want EFI and SMP support... but I can only dream at the moment :-)
-Edit- Oh and S-ATA support would be nice too... but there is a bounty for that already.
