How many more times.

Amigabooks.org currently has several books in
draft and in progress. Two books have graduated
to being considered for publication.

The content is not available to the general public
at the moment - we will be timing this with the launch
of AmigaOS4 for what should be obvious reasons.

Several?

Just mention on your site that it will be launched with AmigaOS4.

By the way, do you know anyone working on a mozilla port for AmigaOS4?

No. I had a good version running on OS3.9 but
the mosdev mailing list was stillborn when I
posted it - it seems.

If I get time, I might ressurect it and bring it up
to the latest M release level and throw it onto OS4
as a freebie port.

@davep
Am I missing something, or did you just say you were running Mozilla on OS3.9? :-)

Erm, yes, I've posted about this quite frequently in
the past and no one has taken me up on the offer
of taking it on - being too subtle I guess. I seemed to be the only one doing any actual work on it so I stopped.

Its slow, buggy ( early M codebase ), and needs a lot
of graft to get to something that I would be proud of.

It is sitting on the machine to the right of where I am typing at the moment which is sans one broken motherboard.

Mozilla on AmigaOS? Wow :-o

I'm using Mozilla at the moment and love it. A lot of people would be interested in a port - and I'm sure many would help development.

Do you realise how a working port of Mozilla could pretty much revolutionise web browsing on the Amiga?!!

Well if someone had reacted this positively a year ago then I might do something about it. For now it waits behind the work I do for AmigaOS4 ;-) Then it will get an update ( if people still want it ) for AmigaOS4 only.

It's based on an early-ish codebase ( without the machine up I just have my memory to go by ) - so
god knows what changes have to be made to the codebase now to get it to the latest version.

Amazing what you can do by not getting yourself tied up in knots porting widget sets ;-)

My God, an Amiga web browser with CSS and full HTML 4.1 support. Damn.
I heard a rumor of his a long while ago, glad to know it's true.
Good work. I'd love to see it for OS 4.0.

@DaveP

Actually I've been setting up a mailing list and CVS server to tackle just such a project, would more than welcome your code to attempt to bring it up to the latest release.

Well the rumours probably came from my posting
about it in conversation on Amiga.org and ANN
over the last.... 18 months.

I'm probably not the only one to do it.
