Why do you ask this question after 10 years and more than 1600 postings?! Because of amnesia?

I got out of Amiga for a while and am not trying to jump back in to it.
I have seen some sites like bomb jack, Lemon Amiga, Wiki Pedia, etc.
I am looking for one that includes productivity software.
I did make a list here before of software and hardware.
It was before your time.

LOL, I think we've all got a little of that!  ;)

But as the OP said, it would be helpful to have a site that has info on productivity applications.  I've been pretty lucky that my old disks containing things like Brilliance, DPaint, etc., still worked, but at some point it might be nice to try things like a more "modern" Amiga word processor, and I've no idea where to find one.

Aminet
Software Hut, even (any Amiga retail site--if you're looking to formulate a list of what's out there)

Wikipedia, of course:
Amiga Productivity Software

Thanks to all.
I see other sites for dos, etc. and they seem to have a good list.
Dos games where big.
Yet, I have not seen a MSDOS productivity site.
I guess I have not really looked.
edit:
Wikipedia is good but it needs to be more of a list,searchable and have a page for each software.

Amiga Software List - Wikipedia

Hi,

Rashumon was probably the first and only multilingual graphic word processor for the Amiga. It was used mainly by people who needed to use multiple languages. There is a working version at Aminet, and even though it was a commercial product, I recently published that I will give the source code to anyone who will be interesting in working on a new version.

I have written a post about how it was developed back in 1989 in my blog here.

For several years there is a Wikipedia page about Rashumon.

There is now a debate whether to keep or delete this article.
I was asked (and did my best) to locate reliable sources about that product. I scanned and downloaded articles and news items from Amiga World, Amazing Computing, Amiga User International (UK) and even found articles published in Denmark, Germany, Israel, Italy and the UK. I placed the scans here.

If you have an opinion about that matter, Please express it in this page.
(Apparently new Wikipedia members can't vote)

If you have more reliable sources such as magazine reviews, etc. please send them to me.

Thanks,

Michael Haephrati
