Software directory: AlternativeTo.net supports Amiga platforms
AlternativeTo.net helps searching for software alternatives. For instance, when you switch from Windows to Linux, you can check what is a free Microsoft Word alternative for that operating system.
Since yesterday the service also lists programs for AmigaOS, MorphOS and AROS. The database depends on third party submissions, thus (after registration) there is a form to add further software.

USB: RapidRoad might be destroyed by hot plugging USB devices
In a thread on a1k.org, owners of a RapidRoad USB expansion from Individual Computers report that their hardware has been destroyed by plugging an external device into one of the USB ports while the computer was turned on. This process is referred to as 'hot plugging' and is actually a central part of the USB protocol - but in some cases seems to result in a dead RapidRoad.

FPGA Expansion: GRETA for Amiga 500
GRETA is supposed to expand an Amiga 500 by 8 MB SDRAM, an ethernet controller as well as a port for MicroSD cards and a freely usable I/O-port. It seems that the development of the board has been finished but since 2013 obviously the programming of the FPGA was not continued: Currently GRETA only offers additional memory. All other features still have to be programmed. The documentation of the projects are available on Github under the GNU General Public License.
