AmiZilla - what's up?
« on: June 30, 2003, 12:39:52 AM »
What's happening with AmiZilla? Has anyone stepped up and accepted the "challenge"?

Hmmm let's see.

Several mb of rather untidy code, reliying on an alien GUI-set, and functionality not available
in AmigaOS (like the infamous fork()) in exchange for a few thousand $ ?

Yeah, I can see people lining up for that ....... NOT.

My advice:
Check if it really has to be Mozilla, or if a KHMTL based approach wouldn't be better.

Set up a road map, with how it should be achieved, and split it into parts suitable for single
coders with each of them a fixed part of the pot attached to it.

1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

Hey... I was just wondering if anything at all had happened, not trying to post flamebait :-)

/me hasn't read it that way.

And I also didn't mean mine as such ....

Just my nice way to make it connect with the hard realities in this community, and
even suggesting a more workable way.

Well, I have quite a few opinions about this project myself, but this is just an honest try to stay up to date. The AmiZilla site doesn't say much about the progress so I figured someone here would know.

IMO, it's just too hard. That money could go up to the 10,000s and it wouldn't matter.

What about those two teenagers in an old Amiga Format that where interviewed, they showed up a working Netscape, althought not finished.

Yeh I remember that. What happened to that? Surely if you dropped such a project you'd pass it on to somebody?
