Due to the number of complaints on several public lists and forums
regarding a lack of a centralised place for Amiga information of all
kinds (classic, AmigaOne, OS4, Amiga Anywhere), I am working on such a
site.
It's TEMPORARY home is at http://homepages.ihug.com.au/~yttrium/amiga/
Please note that the current layout is very much not going to be the
final look of the page. I've got it how it is so that I can easily and
quickly add pages and information without the need to work on the
nitty-gritty of looks - I'm no website designer but please don't send
ideas for how you think I can make it look better, I'll come to that when
I've got enough information to warrant having a page in the first place.
What I'd like to request is that anyone who feels they can contribute,
please do so by emailling me information and pages to include. This is
not intended as a news site so I don't want information about upcoming
events and that sort of thing, just straight info. I'd appreciate it if
you send me whole pages to just slot in where appropriate that you design
them with no javascript, frames, or scripting of any kind - just straight
and plain HTML with links - also if you could keep images to an absolute
minimum as I only have 10MB webspace with my ISP and don't intend on
moving it to a real server until it's complete enough to be the kind of
place I'd be happy to point people for more information. My 10MB should
be plenty if we can keep it to being pure text and key images only.
If you take a look at what I've got there at the moment, you'll see the
general kind of things I want. My AmigaOne page is probably about the
most complete at the moment, but I could very much do with more technical
information linked off the AmigaOne specs (most of those links I've
written about one or two lines only at present).
The general idea is that anyone of any level can look at the site.
People click on the AmigaOne link and see basic information. Techie
types say, I want to know more about xxx, and click on that link for more
tech info. Any information that is implied or suggested but not directly
stated anywhere by someone "official" should be marked as such. I know
you might mean well, but unsubstantiated rumors are NOT the intended goal
of the site. I'm going to be putting a lot of my personal time and effort
into maintaining the information and keeping it all as up to date as
possible and I'd appreciate not having to wade through mountains of rumor
and misinformation. Information regarding anything to do with Amiga is
welcomed, but no "this is better than that" without hard fact to back it
up. Presently I'm mostly interested in information on AmigaOne,
AmigaOS4, Classic Amiga (history), Amithlon and AmigaDE (Anywhere),
however if someone wants to write something about MorphOS, UAE, Pegasos,
Merlancia, pOS, Classic Amiga expansions, software issues or anything
else relevant, I won't reject it (if it's factual, unbiased and contains
useful information of course).
Also, obviously, if anyone sees anything on the page that they think is
incorrect, let me know and I'll investigate it further.
To avoid spamming these lists with ideas, please send information/pages
directly to me at either yttriumox@softhome.net or
yttrium@ihug.com.au
with "page submission" in the subject (just so I can filter for it, I get
ALOT of mail).
