Just to clarify,
Phoenix and MDC will remain separate sites which act as partners. Felix's site handles MorphOS-specific development and its coding-related issues, while Phoenix will handle all Pegasos-related development on multiple OSes, and operate under Phoenix's expanded definition of DEVELOPER, which includes many categories besides coders of those who contribute to the advancement of the platform.
So Phoenix of course is involved with MorphOS too - but the focus is on different services which compliment those of Felix's excellent site. Some examples are the Initiatives that Phoenix is involved in including the current developer seeding with free (used, pre-April) Pegasos Betatester boards, the PhDemoScene group, The Superbundle group, the US Tradeshows group, etc.
Yesterday Felix and I talked on the phone about the best way to coordinate and make sure we compliment each others' work. Many people will (and do) belong to both. As Phoenix's new addition to the website staff makes it possible to leverage Talent Pools to better advantage people who are developing contracted software at MDC will easily be able to query graphics artists, audio and music specialists, people who design packaging and promotional materials, translators and technical documentation people, hardware designers, web and print journalists, etc.
Then, too, we can begin to build teams for larger and more ambitious projects and avoid duplication of efforts so that more categories of software become available instead of just ending up with more still more browsers with excrutiatingly slow upgrade development cycles.
