Call for Amiga Developers from A-EON Technology

[kamelito]

It's a wiki so whilst the articles may be updated to show 'modern practice' the older versions are still there in th history.

Not practical at all in my opinion, and how do you know which historic version equal latest finished Classic version vs broken or incomplete one?
It'll be a lot easier if you could choose Classic or NG and then browse from here.

Would kind of applications are you looking for to appear in the store?

Does anyone have a app wanted list?

Some apps need a large team of people to work on, smaller ones can be done bya single developer. So a list has to be realistic and not expect to much from it.

A-Eon has the src not me. If you want to code on it apply for a job. The NDA just protects their copyright. It is after all not open src but commercial software.

I am not interested in a new job as I already got one, I am not interested in the money as I already got a job, I am not interested in contracts, I am not interested in deadlines. I am only interested in having the piece of software available on my choices of Amiga flavor - no strings attached. For that I am willing to pay much more for than 20 euros.

I'm busy coding on other A-Eon projects as well as "real life" but I'm sure more work on ppiant will follow.

Exactly, as a developer for A-EON you are busy with many projects, you and that other guy, whatshisname, hehe

I didn't say it was practical, just that it wasn't lost and is still accessable, allbeit awkardly.

I agree that it's not ideal if you are looking for Classic info.

Nice bookshelf.
The only thing that seems missing is the old K&R C book, but perhaps I am showing my age.

Thanks Lyle. Don't worry, it's a few shelves below with all the other religious texts.

I've messaged A-Eon on there website saying that I'm interested. Do you know when I'll get an answer and how long it takes for them to respond? Thanks.

[olsen]

Not only that but the examples are updated to 4.x while the former examples are not available anymore...

Yikes, so much for archival purposes. The RKM companion archive, which contains all the source code, should still be on Aminet. I get a feeling that the Amiga Developer CD 2.1 contents ought to be made available legally again.

A-EON is calling for Amiga developers and classics more than NG so I guess they  should have the same experience while looking for information not less not more.
I know that the wiki come for Hyperion and not A-EON.

From the front page, "This is the AmigaOS Documentation Wiki. Here we collect all information for users and developers of AmigaOS version 4.0 and beyond."

If you want material prior to version 4 of AmigaOS then you will likely need to talk to Cloanto. Cloanto has been buying up all the rights to previous versions of AmigaOS and Michael is very interested in preservation. Michael has been pushing the preservation idea at every single Amiga 30th event this year so I'm surprised you guys missed that.

Back on topic, I think some people's dogmatic idealism is getting in the way of getting things done. A-EON is doing a fantastic job of getting new software products to market by paying developers so don't complain when they want to protect their copyright at the same time. If you don't like it, stop the endless talking and start a bounty to buy the rights from A-EON and make it "free" or get out of the way because they aren't slowing down for a few hippies.

...because they aren't slowing down for a few hippies.

Or grumpy old men, in the case of this forum.  :lol:

OK Steve, that was a good one.
At least in this regard I am on your side.
Pay Cloanto for "preserved" software or buy new.

they do not need to slow down for anyone, if they make a offer that is interesting then people will buy it, if not they will loose money with it

That is exactly what I wrote then Olsen and Broadblues says otherwise and then clarified.
I'm not complaining, I just think that Classics programmers need proper docs too as for Cloanto for now I just saw them as money makers around Emulation. Preserving stuff is one thing sharing them another.

IIRC the 3rd edition do not cover 3.x stuff a Classic wiki could be updated this way.
