| Star Office for Amiga? Maybe. : Comment 1 of 16 | ANN.lu |
| Posted by Scott Konowal on 17-Jul-2000 22:00 GMT | Yep, we should be seeing Star Office on the "classic" Amiga pretty soon now. Right after Mozilla/Netscape, Opera, GTK, and all that other great GPL'd software.
Sorry for the sarcasm. My point is, these projects start and then the developer realizes the enormous task of porting something of this magnitude with little or no help. There isn't a large enough pool of developers/porters left in the Amiga community willing to tackle these huge projects in their free time.
This may change with the new Amiga platform, but even that would be pure speculation. |
