My point was that since we don't have documentation anymore, we need to find new ways to address the Amiga's idiosyncrasies. My original thought was to simply update the documentation, but there could be other solutions as well.
The solution is making default everything people (and I mean "people", not the "few survivors of the Amiga community") are accustomed to. People cycle tasks with Alt+Tab? Well, Alt+Tab will be used for cycling tasks. People want automatic snapshotting? Snapshotting should be automatic, and so on. There are many many little tricks a GUI can handle without denaturizing itself. AROS for istance uses some: try mounting a PC CD-ROM on both AROS and AmigaOS 4, and you'll notice a difference: on the former, Show->All files will be chosen automatically. Why? Because you won't likely find .info files on PC CD-ROMs! And this is absolutely needed on a read-only media. On Icaros Desktop I am trying to help people accustomed to other OSes customizing a little the AROS GUI. I have to do that, since the most frequent negative feedbacks I got from people that tried it were... that the GUI didn't act like Windows! There are many places where Amiga paradygms can be changed without loosing in functionality. And they should be addressed, if AmigaOS/AROS/Whatosever want to approach people outside the Amiga community.
