@Fairdinkem Oh, I always forget about Qt! Since Roadshow can share SocketBase between tasks, it should be possible to do a Transmission-Qt port without too much hassle.
@netrot After I updated that port to the latest stable release, I can add OS4 support as well.
@Thematic That's not how it works, Calligra Office depends heavily on KDE libraries.
@Lokaty Huno does a port of Cave Story (NX-Engine), I'll check out the rest later. Are these open source?
This is just like television, only you can see much further.
I also have an idea, and I wonder if anyone is interested. I have a half-baked port of Arx Libertatis for AROS, and I recently started fixing the file loaders for big-endian systems. Since there have been no Odyssey updates since January, Arx Fatalis could fill the void

That would be good choise, it would offer something new to NG systems
Would it be possible to do that torrentclient qt-port first if its easy? Why not open a homepage with all suggestions and let us donate money for it :)
@Joeled It's definitely not easy, multithreading and sockets are always a pain. It's easier than an AROS/MOS port tough, because I don't have to port every dependency again with kludges added. I'll open a sub-page for my OS4 ports/plans when I get my Pegasos II.
@Kicko Cheers, that's definitely motivating.

If you managed to port Libpurple it would be a great success for all camps. I guess it would take alot of time but i think it would be worth it. I would happily donate alot of euros if you considered it.
@Joeled An another multi-threaded library, yay! If someone would be interedted in writing a GUI IM program using it, I'd consider it. I doubt anyone wants to use the ncurses-based client.
@HunoPPC I know about your port, but it's closed source, and it's based on an old version of uhexen2. There have been a lot of bugfixes and improvements since. I push my changes into the official repo over sf.net, so it can be easily recompiled every time a new version comes out.

I know how long it takes for a beginner to port something. Well, when I put DosBox 0.70 together that was a one week job, where I worked on it as much as I could bother to. Part of it being removing enough code until it was finished and ran. It didn't exit cleanly but it's thankfully been superseded since.
