If:
(1) Open Source browsers were the Amizilla target - not mixing it in with commercial Amiga-derived browsers that should fend for themselves as commercial entities. And since the start I've wondered if something KHTML wasn't just as likely or more likely than Mozilla or Firebird to be succesfully ported -
(2) there was some evidence that ports would support modern Amigalike efforts without trying to satisfy non-PPC Amiga use, which just isn't realistic, it's a hindrance -
(3) the name Amizilla got dumped (since Mozilla would not be the target then) and the Boing emphasis too {since then, a couple target platforms would not be officially BOING ; }, and a suitably PROFESSIONAL more "neutral" icon and logotype were adopted that could represent all -
(4) there was evidence that some effort was working hard and able to go forward in a decent timeframe, focused on coding and not just planning, and able to show at least some evidence of knowledgable project management and timelined progress. I'd prefer to actually see all the talent working on the same effort, and digging the spirit of "cooperatition" -
Then:
I would not be hesitant on behalf of Phoenix and Genesi to pledge to double the booty and provide maling lists, forums, filespace, website and website assistance like the others we are preparing for various projects and OSes (such as odc.pegasosppc.com/ - linux.pegasosppc.com - gladiateur.pegasosppc.com - etc), and get this effort offical IBM Partner status when completed, including use of all logos and listings (yes, as we said earlier we are not stopping at the Ready For IBM Techology level - we are going for more significant levels of partnership and status).
Specific applications can gain from this and it would really please me to see a browser port effort succeed and be awarded this status : }
That is DOUBLE THE BOOTY - yes, DOUBLE - in case that fact seemed buried in the sea of conditional text ; }

Phoenix Developer Consortiumedit: perhaps I am a little off in describing a PPC-only target when AROS is included in the target platforms along with MorphOS and AmigaOS4 ; } ...The point being that supporting underendowed 68K Amigas directly does not matter to me personally, but if the team or teams want to shoot for that, fine - as long as it doen't get in the way ; }
