Amiga Events : Amigans Net Officially Supporting Timberwolf!
Posted by Mikey_C on 2009/10/5 10:43:15 (4241 reads) News by the same author

We are delighted to announce our support for Project Timberwolf.

Quote:

Timberwolf is the project name of the AmigaOS port of the Firefox web browser (for legal reasons it cannot be called Firefox). Firefox is an award-winning open source web browser and is the de-facto-standard browser across a wide variety of operating system....

We believe that like Gnash, Project Timberwolf is a very important step towards giving Amiga OS4.x the tools enjoyed everyday on other platforms.
Please support the team behind Timberwolf - donate today!

 Re: Amigans Net Officially Supporting Timberwolf!
I donated against my better judgement. Why? I never saw Sputnik or AmiZilla; both I supported. I'm only donating because the Frieden brothers and OS4 Team do great work and respect for the bounty team - Cyborg (Costel Mincea) and Troels.
As far as using any Amiga browsers these days, I don't!

@Miley_C
OWB is usable for 70% of browser stuff. No flash (youtube, very usable for many of us), and not have many "must have" gui thinks. Imho we all know that :)

 Re: Amigans Net Officially Supporting Timberwolf!
Theres one thing that bugs me about this whole firefox thing. Not the porting to os4 (great news!) but the damn name thing? Firefox is opensource why cant it be called "Firefox" Could someone explain? Windows has it, linux has it so why the hell not os4? We have to come up with a better name than timberwolf, it sucks.

Mozilla Foundation owns the trademark ?Firefox? and claims the right to deny the use of the name and other trademarks to unofficial builds.


Read why the Debian Linux distro couldn't use the name Firefox here.

So unless one can convince the Mozilla Foundation to start building and distributing the OS4.1 version (which is probably going to happend when Satan starts skating to work) it can't be called Firefox...

You cetainly have unique reason for NOT supporting new software for Amiga.
Hmm, 'don't judge a 'title' by it's 'book' logic !

 Re: Amigans Net Officially Supporting Timberwolf!
What about the name of : "ClimberWolf" ? It is climbing on the community and all people who didn't think that "FireFox" would be ported to Amiga...

Anyway, I find "TimberWolf" nice as a name. Maybe the "porters" wanted to show that "wood" could defeat "Chrome" (metal), "Fire", survive to jungle ("Safari") and why not having an own history ("Opera")... and to be a new kind of world explorer "IE"...

Well this is my "poetic imagination side"
