[News] Genesi evaluating interest in Rebol for Pegasos SDK | ANN.lu |

Genesi has begun discussions with REBOL to integrate portions of REBOL into a free developer package for the MorphOS Developer Connection - or maybe even a full REBOL package for a "Pegasos SDK" covering all supported operating systems on Genesi's hardware. At MorphOS-News.de Genesi invites everyone to a brainstorming about interest in and advantages of REBOL's integration into MorphOS.
MorphOS-News.de reports:
"Genesi has begun discussions with REBOL to integrate portions of REBOL into a free developer package for the MorphOS Developer Connection. Genesi would pay REBOL a license fee for such a package and may bundle REBOL with the MorphOS SDK. The Corporate REBOL site can be found here.
All interested in such an arrangement, please express your interest here on this thread. Please be specific about your interest and the advantages you can see in the integration of REBOL into the next generation of MorphOS."

> "Amiga-like" is an opinion you are ofcourse entitled to. However, as far as I can tell by this article, it's still not decided wether this will actually happen and it seems that it will only happen if there is enough of interested MorphOS users.
No, not necessarily just MorphOS users, I think, but also others interested in the Pegasos platform. One reason things like this get announced to a wider audience than just current MOS users (who are already reachable via internal mailing lists anyway), is that it is a good idea to try to expand interest in a fledgling computer platform. The idea of Rebol actively supported on MorphOS *and other OSs running on Pegasos* would be an incentive for new users to get involved.

As I said, I don't believe that's the intention. If Genesi were only interested in current users, there are ways to contact them. The point is to generate wider interest in the platform as well. This is also called business promotion; this is what healthy businesses do.
> Wouldn't it be ironic if it would turn out to be alot more interested Amiga users than Pegasos/MorphOS users and that Carl decides drop the MorphOS version and wait for AmigaOS4 instead?
So be it, if it turns out that way. You see, then, how all kinds of potential interesting possibilities await? ;-) (Corollary: there's no need for such negativism.)
