It is important to see wish lists even if we know that we all want a decent browser and a modern wordprocessor with printing features.
But if we want to make these lists useful, we need to give answers to each point with realism : what is possible ? who will do the work ? what is missing ?
Web browser : IBrowse is much better than what I was expecting but it does not support CSS. A chance would be Sputnik, improved and ported. Else a port of Firefox but it requires many missing depencies.
Word processor : Open Office seems to be unrealistic. AbiWord with X11 seems to be a good start waiting for a port with our native GUI. What is the status of Papyrus ? It must be debugged but great work has been done ! Where are sources ?
Else, there is the new upcoming Cinnamon Writer.
MySQL : Sure it would be great ! And I don't see what is missing to port it. Need someone to do it.
Java : First step, we need a JVM. There are many open source projects. JAmiga (
http://www.jamiga.org) needs support ! Second step : integration into our browser (see above)
Scripting languages : Rebol could be nice but Ruby and Python are there !
E-UAE enhanced : Let's support it, it will be improved ! There are certainly many optimizations to do.
Games : SDL is well supported but we need OpenGL !
From my point of view, as an additionnal wish list :
- a much better shell ... hopefully that KingCON is better than nothing else I couldn't develop on OS4
- a enhanced installer
- a tool to update software with packages and dependencies
- Workbench with richer file requesters
Here is a summary of general wishes :
- Remote Client to Amiga (i.e. Allow me to use my Amiga remotely from Elsewhere in the world)
- MacOSX emulator from OS4
- Microphone Support for Internet Audio streaming
- Lots of creativity software, music and paint programs.
- AMOS Pro
- SuperBase5
- PPC ARexx
- Any ports of commercial RPGs from the x86 side.
- A MMORPG
- Skype
- Improved TuneNet with an Media Libary function, RealAudio, ...
- WarpUp Emulation
- Candy Factory 2
- ArtEffect
- Cinema4D
- IDE like StormC or other concept
- New games (Moonstone 2), games like UFO, Fallout2, ...
- AmiBlitz (native)
- Playstation 2 Emulator
- More X11 programs ( Gaim / Netscape / Mozilla / Firefox / Konqueror)
- More Printer drivers
- AmigaInput whit out bugs.
- MovieEditor, something like WildFire, with sound support, divx etc.
- Modplayer with AHI support (I use EaglePlayer on my A4k)
