£5000 is supposedly loose change to AmigaInc these days.
Perhaps they would like to put the money up for this and other projects.
This would go someway to restoring faith in the company from the Amiga community.
Would also go someway to letting the devs know their work is appreciated.
Maybe showing our appreciation in general is a good idea.
When I have registered software or asked for help, I have always taken the time to thank the dev for the work.
But if I'm honest, if those two occasions haven't occurred, I haven't taken the time.
If I installed something for free and it worked, I have just carried on using it.
Maybe we should all spend a few minutes looking at software we use and then take a few mins to email and thank the authors.
