Very cool idea. Congrats and thanks to Jan.

This is a great gesture from DiscreetFX. Just lovely.
There is alot of people that have done much for us users.

For example strohmayer with doing amigaversion of OWB and also afxgroup.
MPlayer that afxgroup did.
Jahc (my favourite coder) for wookie/sabre.
Slash for epistula (keep on with that filedirect:)
Zerohero for dopus os4native and other stuff
Xeron for his ftp program.
Antique for porting new versions of ctorrent (even if he often has struggles with the gui:)
DaveAE for AE and all other live audiodrivers for amiga.
Robin Cloutman for rcFTPd.
Lyle Haze for making usb driver for usb midi interface (cant live without it)
and all other i forgot to name here...
oh not to forgot Deniil at onyxsoft etc.

This list could be forever long :)

@DiscreetFX

Very nice gesture.
Just for reference to call attention to another developer donation program:

http://www.amigans.net/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=1808&forum=5

This is at least the 3rd such positive effort I've noticed.
Perhaps maybe even networking and tying them together in some way might make the efforts more productive.

This is a great idea from DiscreetFX and is just the sort of positvity that is greatly needed right now.

I just hope that the court case can be concluded soon and then efforts such as this will have true purpose.

Good move DiscreetFX !
Let's hope it will further motivate those with programming
talents in their future Amiga projects.

Good job DiscreetFX.

Rude!

Great idea! :)

whats mcewen ever done for us? except steal our money and screw everything with bad management?...this is just more evidence that even with limited resources, discreet fx would be a more positive force in charge of amiga than current management.

i disagree on the healthy competition part though (this is a democracy hehe)..theres not enough developers to go round for 3 projects... its got the community divided with all 3 options being very much inadequate compared relatively with their predecessors (classic).... not to mention mcewen making enemies and not building partnerships...

IMHO the community would be better served completely united behind either of the alternative OS's - aros or morphOS...just pick one and stick with it because Mcewen isn't going to deliver... bill mcewen has made himself a laughing stock in the IT business community and a lot of enemies in the user/developer community so as long as he's alive and at the helm a goal of 100,000 developers is as likely as Satan ice skating to work.. That many educated people are not stupid enough to be involved with a company that has been so "dodgy" and so "utterly useless".


discreet fx - change you can believe in!!!

This is great! Thanks discreetfx
You have already done more for Amiga than Amiga INC has done since they aquired Amiga.

Let me add a few more:
Error for FryingPan (who I'm sure Kicko only omitted out of fear of being accused of bias).
Michael Battilana/Cloanto for Amiga Forever and all the other things he's done over the years.
CygnusEd for Apache and CygWin etc.

Best regards,

Niels

Just wanted to congratulate AmiKit on reaching 10,000 downloads!

Awesome!
