Amiga.org Downloads section now online
« on: June 09, 2002, 12:57:23 AM »
Greetings one and all.  With the release of the AWeb source code, I thought it prudent to open up the Amiga.org Downloads section on the site to begin offering files from one centralized location.  We're looking for people willing to help populate and manage the new section, so chime in..

Update: Permission problem should be fixed.  Registered users only.

I'm willing to help you look after it!

I spend more time on here then can probably be considered healthy!

Do you have a secure upload area where readers can submit stuff for consideration ?

Err, I'm confused...

I don't understand why opening a software download section has got anything to do with the opensource of Aweb.

Surely this just an oppportunity to 'reborn' an already tried and failed attempt of a software download section at amiga.org?

Or am I so drunk I can not see the light?

Enlighten me.

Technically?  It doesn't.  It just sounded like a good excuse.  Wait until next week when I unveil the Amiga.org SourceForge engine.

It is a nice idea, but every time on of these pops up im always skeptical. Mainly, because we already have aminet and people know that whenever they want something "Amiga" thats were they go. Opening up another downloads area may confuse people or... yer dont know...


Does it accept images?  :-D

I never, ever intend to slight Urban and crew.  I think for the last x years, the job they've done has been very admirable.  I just feel that the Aminet concept is about 10 years past it's prime and desperately unusable (at least to me).  This is not intended to reflect on Urban, this is more a reflection of the lack of update and change over the last 10 years.  Oh, wait, I forgot, you Amiga users don't actually **like** change, do you.... :-P

Our little thing is not intended to replace the Aminet.  For a fact, it will carry mostly useful files such as drivers, etc.  We certainly wouldn't have the hard drive space for another Aminet to begin with.

Our SourceForge implementation on the other hand...  Very much intended to give developers a place to build their projects and work with teams...  Once projects are done, why not store them here?
