AmigaDE for Pegasos PPC website

[bbrv]

Actually, the site is for ANY PowerPC platform support.  Did anyone notice that?

Well, perception is reality.  Here is the reality: there is nothing unless there are people to do it.  There are now 13 registered users.  Can it be something?  Sure.  Why not?!  :-)

This Developer sites are like the others.

We put them up.  We hire someone from the registered users to maintain and moderate it.  We see what happens.

Francis Charig is a business man.  If there is an opportunity to profit from a relationship he will.  Half of the DE license fee to be paid goes to Tao anyway.

P.S. Cannot resist...Bill, can you feel the metaMorphOSis?  :lol:

Of course, all that changes in with a favorable ruling... :-o

P.S. Surely, you should be able to recognise another post of Mr. Peg-Pong-Pooper when you see it. ;-)

We appreciate all the comments on this thread, the good and the bad.  We do these kinds of things to understand the market better.  In some posts good ideas are presented, in others we understand opinions and bias we would not otherwise encounter and last but not least we understand the depth of the ignorance so often associated with the understanding of a controversial situation such as this.

The bottom line is we do not know if AmigaDE is worth the license fee that we will pay to integrate it into a product offering we make.  Perhaps, with Tao involved it might be.  We will see.  For the record, the Amiga Trademarks are not important to us.   The Development and User Community and the hundreds applications still useful are.  These are not owned by Amiga Inc.  Finally, the lawsuit's damages are capped at -ZERO- in the situation as it exists today.  This will not be the reason Amiga Inc. go into bankruptcy.  They are not paying lawyers, so they have no expense on the account of this matter and even less if a Judgment is granted.  The result?  Amiga Inc. begins to generate revenue from Genesi IF we do something with it.  And, that, will depend on the Developers out there that are interested.

Hi Hammer, tell us how.  That is one of the reasons for having this discussion here to bring out not only the ideas, but the specifics.  It is an international brainstorming session that if done successfully can yield enough information to create a Marketing Requirements Document that in turn can be sourced to a technology team and a level of risk vs. reward can be assessed.  Will it make business sense?  Let's figure it out right here, right now.

Hi Hammer, OK good thinking!  But, are you absolutely sure that MONO can tie into all of this?  That is an XSLENT idea!  :-D

We have been on the Eclipse mailing list for two years and are waiting for the final build.

The XML route is certainly interesting.

OK, another good point by Bill H...

Found this OLD DISCUSSION ABOUT DE.  There are a few interesting comments there.

The point is why couldn't MONO head off in its own direction.  BTW, did you notice that the contact information goes to a ximian email address!  :-o

...and consequently Novell (and IBM) are involved. PowerPC is to be fully supported.  It is partially today.

This could be interesting...;-)

R&B  :-)

P.S. This is not a shameless attempt!  We want to pay a license fee under a contract signed and agreed to by Amiga Inc.!  The issue is we do not agree on the terms of the contract and now the Court will decide.  It seems to us that if we make this step then some of the objections HERE might be met and this might all tie together in a nice neat package...;-)

Hi Coder and FuZion...

Yes, it is all becoming more of an XSLENT idea.

Follow the link to know more...;-)

[bbrv]

Exactly!

Wasn't that the whole idea?!  :-o
