Sometimes i think that,if Amiga Communities would stop thinking about making money, acting like they are still important and simply have fun, things would be soo much relaxed... not gonna happen i know.

Addition: i personally am an AROS supporter exactly because am tired of all this copyright and ownership crap: i see other retro computer scenes thrive because people simply have fun and they don't care anymore about stepping some old copyright or API problems, and where devs and users simply do what they care, and don't try to police others if the way others do something do not follow the "clear one and only way". In this Amiga scene is very emblematic on showing what happen IMO when a computing ecosystem go awry, and, sadly, is also giving up a glimpse of future concerning what might be - let's assume -  a WII retrocomputing or similar: no way to do anything due to copyrights, lockdowns and such.

So at the end the question is: want we lay our back in the chair and have fun or want we to fight every moment and let this already crippled Amiga ecosystem fade in obscurity due to excessive litigation and micromanaging? If i was me would let people do what they like all the way to the C&D, to the handcuffs and over!!!!

And, by the way, am upset about this state of things! [more to come when i calm down]

Well reading a bit deeper i can see where you come from, engineers are like architects, they need clean structures and APIs, something that a system left essentially on its own like Amiga OS lacks; the maintainer part cannot be solved on the old structure, however imo transiting to AROS would fix this since as open source project can be always - in theory - taken over from people without really dying...

About people in the community refusing to spend, that is Commodore's Fault: it provided us with a wonderful powerful machine at a very cheap price, so it is in our culture and DNA to expect the best bang for the buck

Well if nobody works on doing the feature is hard to see them implemented; it is not like in an official OS where all is provided when ready, nor is like in Linux where there are several hundred devs -paid and not: whether we are talking of AROS or not, the Amiga and NG ecosystem is pretty small and there are just few knowledgeable devs working in lot of stuff, not necessarily useful or not immediately...
