New Amiga Site... Help Needed
|

Hi folks, basically I have a plan to create a new Amiga website, called something along the lines of Amiga Answers.com, a resource to offer technical tips and have a question-orientated layout split into categories.
For example there would be a hardware section so people can find out technical or basic Q&As on all Amiga hardware including classic and the new SAM boards, a software section and depending on how successful we become a for sale section with no registration neccessary along the lines of what Amibench used to be. I know there are other sites for this now but a registration-free site where people are willing to take the risk could be no bad thing in my opinion.
I am looking at people who may be interested in helping out in any way they can. Because I am only poor unfortunately none of the work will be paid and I will not be making any profit from the site it would be run strictly off my own back with donations welcome
I am look at creating a visually impressive, serious site and aim to become the site which people refer to when they have a question and want a quick answer.
I am not looking to rival this site or any other Amiga forums out there since I think they are all great places for discussion and we don't need another one, hence there will be no forum.
It will strictly be questions and answers. There will be an E-Mail link of course where people can E-Mail if something is answered inaccurately.
SO what do you all think?
At the moment I am looking of course for people with technical Amiga knowledge, good web coders and people good at creating website graphics. My coding is very limited and my role would be to simply oversee the whole project, run the site and pay for the webspace.
So if anyone is interested then please reply to this thread rather than PM as I want to keep it in view for anyone who could help us.
Thanks Amigans.net!

Thanks for the thoughts people, keep them coming in :) I have been offered the following by a friend:
Desktop 1200, PowerFlyer Gold, Scandoubler, Flicker fixer, 4Mb memory, OS 3.9 installed
What I need to know is though, is Powerflyer Gold compatible with desktop 1200 (will it fit?)
Regards

Amiga Only In 2008

Hi
First of all a brief history, I got my first serious computer in 1999, a P2 running Windows 98. It was horrible and gave me nothing but problems. Later that year I got an Amiga 600 followed by Amiga 1200. I upgraded the A1200 to an 030/50MHz accelerator board with 8Mb RAM and put it in a tower with 1Gb HD and CD running OS 3.9. The system was very unstable but that was down to the crappy way I built it, I was only young at the time.
I then upgraded to the A1 which unfortuantely gave me a lot of trouble, I sold both systems and switched to the Mac between 2003-07 and now currently use a PC.
However I have decided that becoming a Network Engineer is not the career for me, so I don't really have any need to use a PC, and for the PC access I do need, my parents have a PC in the next room I can use.
So we come to the crunch...
I use a computer for web browsing , instant messaging, IRC and Email mostly. eBay now and again too.
These needs would obviously affect the spec of my system however:
I want the Amiga 1200 to stay in its desktop case.
I also have a flat panel LCD monitor here, which is in the gallery hooked up to a 1200 here
One thing I do still have from my old system is the 3.9 CD, and I can hopefully dig out the 3.1 floppies too.
What is the best route would you say? I have seen many people here and other forums who are Amiga only and get by doing more things than me, so I am sure it is possible to get by Amiga only in nearly 2008
And also one other question, those of you who are Amiga only, what are your set ups and what do you use them for, how is the Amiga getting you by on web browsing, since I know the Amiga is limited in this respect.
Best regards, look forward to some interesting responses :)

@Rudei
Another simple app (and superior IMHO) for making movies is Apple's iMovie bundled with OS X. Jolly good fun :)
Perhaps Hyperion could bundle a similar app with the next OS update?

It is a good thing though in some respects, it's stops spamming

Hyperion should join this site for obvious reasons (if they aren't already members) then they can keep us updated rather than battling it out with a load of MorphOS fanboys on AW.

Neither of them have been released just yet. As to the OS4 licensing, I don't know to be honest.
Did Bill McEwen not say in the Amiga.org 25 questions that Troika "isn't one of them" meaning not one of the companies eligable for a license

However, I probably missed the reason. Is this because AmigaWorld has become more... hmm... blue?
I think it is partially yes, not that there is anything particularly wrong with that. There was room for an Amiga-only site IMO. We have 2 sites where the Genesi/Amiga users mix (Amiga org and Amigaworld), a MorphOS only site (Morphzone) and now, an AmigaOS only site. I think everything is now covered :)

So, I've been sitting on an A1200 for the last 3 years.
I wouldn't do that personally it won't do the keyboard any good ;)
