The OpenAmiga Standard

[Dagon]

Me as an AmigaOS 4.0 supporter I like very much that idea, lets make also a poll (I wrote about it in the other thread) here in Amiga.org to see what others believe. (but first let`s discuss it here to see the advantages and the disadvantages and try to find the solutions.)

AmigaOS 4.0, MorphOS, Aros like the BSDs :-) (sort of...)

[Dagon]

We all want a standard, we know that we need a standard, developers want standards, users need stardards...

= More apps for everyone :-) You will not have to make specific versions (only when it is very necessary) for each OS.

AmigaOS 4.x, MorphOS and Aros will be mutually benefited. For example a game that makes i.e. Epic will run or will be very easily ported in all of them. ;-)

BTW what category would this go under in OSNews? Amiga or MorphOS wouldn't really be right.

It's gone up under Amiga news.

So when we will see it in the Amiga related news sites?

Amiga.org
ANN
Czech AN
AmigArt
AmigaWorld
MorphOS-News
VGR News
GFX-Base
Amiga University (I know it isn`t a news site :-) )




It will be useful if someone wrote a readme file that says some info about OpenAmiga standards etc to be included in all programs that stick to them.

YAM, Amizila, AWeb are potential programs for the openAmiga standard (I know Aweb doesn`t use MUI, but they could make a version with MUI also, and Amizilla hasn`t start yet if I`m not mistaken)
