programmers generally are not sitting around waiting for non-technical people to supply them with ideas.....

if you want it, grab a keyboard and start hacking away at it.

On another topic, my wife and I agreed I should buy an Amiga.... :-)  I wonder if I should have explained that is a computer (DOH!)....

anyway...I plan on to do some programming, but not port kaffe...maybe I'll look at the BSD sources for the .NET CLI and port that....(double DOH!)....

naaaa, I am going to do what I always do, some weird thing that no one really wants....my last two projects were a SDIF complain swim meet software, and a very exciting process interrupt report.

But I am looking forward to programming on the Amiga again, and at least i know if I want something I can just write it....hehehehe  :-P

I took a look at the link for kaffe...it was interesting.
I think its great they ported an early version of kaffe, and that should be wonderful for learning...but surely they never ported AWT and Swing, and stuff like that? even when it was released, ir probably didn't run the 'new stuff'   my guess it was just the basic engine without all the jfc's.....just a guess though.

I think beyond the jvm, a lot of the API's will need to be ported as well....but everything helps...
