Not at all sure where Bill P. might have gotten the idea that Genesi "might not be able to afford it". Other than that discrepancy, any donations for this project is a good thing.

Pity that TeamAROS never got the $1000 from Genesi that was promised back in April.

If that's the same $1000 I am thinking, there were also two more Pegasos boards included, all to be contributed to AROS at the time when we had seen progress of porting that meant that it was practical to involve two more AROS people.

No, the two more pegs is with AROS not TeamAROS.   TeamAROS has nothing to do with coding/porting AROS to any platform, other then cheerfully accepting bounty request.  TeamAROS had nothing to do with the initial peg mobo for porting that Genesi donated.  Had TeamAROS been envolved, the $1K would have solely been targeting the actual porting of AROS to the Peg.  As you can see by our bounty lists, there is zero for the AROS port to the Peg.  It's not TeamAROS' deal.

Perhaps there was some miscommunication then. Because the only $1000 I ever heard about was the $1000 I proposed to BBRV that we offer to AROS (along with three boards) for porting AROS to Peg, and I got back a thumbs-up. This was at almost exactly the same time when you came up mentioning Team AROS, so perhaps some wires are crossed. I just don't know.

Apparently there is/was.  The only thing I have in my (from BBRV) emails (dated Sun, 27 Apr 2003 09:23:18 +0200) was a $1K towards the system that I had described (TeamAROS) to BBRV and there was nothing in there that had anything to do with porting.  I spent that weekend hacking a Open Source web source into TeamAROS' page so things would roll ASAP as per suggestion.  Had a port of AROS to Peg been told to me, up front in that email, things would have been different and I would not have even considered spashing PHX's name on TeamAROS' page if I spent the time puttingTeamAROS together at all.  Then there are those posts on ANN when BBRV announced that it was them funding the donation to TeamAROS and once again, there was no mention of any strings attached.

If you will note, I have not put a single bounty that was not backed up by money.  Nor would I have done so with a Peg port without the $1K sitting in the paypal account first.
