I don't know, I think many of the slashdot comments make sense from a certain point of view. If I wasn't a die-hard Amiga fan I probably wouldn't touch any of the current-generation Amiga systems with a stick.


I agree. Not that i'm complaining but the fact you have to pay for it when compared to linux which is free. I think that in itself is going to turn people off : /

Anyway great job guys i will install next week when i get time :)

What's going on with this "AmigaOS+"? Was it really worth swapping the ng for a + symbol?

No, linux's model is not bad but currently Ubuntu is rife with issues, such as the crappy unity GUI and competing standards.  And the MorphOS SDK is available, for any developers who wish to make drivers. I think it is more of a lack of full time developers and a unified community that create the current rifts. My model would be partially close off Morphzone to host only actual users who bought the OS, leaving a news and prospective user forum for non-users. From there we can get a more unified opinion of the community of users ( I myself will be buying a new license as soon as I have time to use MorphOS on a regular basis) and reduce the squabbling we have currently there. From that we could form a sort of "vote" where users have some say in what is worked on, when, at the developer's discretion. Once MorphOS has a bigger library of users we can begin to have full time developers who will develop for it.

So your way to unify the community is to close off the forums and make them exclusive? I think is a terrible idea! i don't understand how making the forums exclusive will stop the squabling.

The forums should be available for everyone not just a select few. We are trying to bring in users into the community not keep them out!

I am thinking maybe you take this whole thing too seriously. You need to sit back and just laugh at it all. That's the best way to combat the squabbling. Being dictatorial is definitely not the answer.
