AmigaShare would like to announce that within the next fortnight, Phase 1 delivery of the web site will be made available to the community.

The main component of Phase 1 is a feature-rich Software Library for OS4 and compatible applications. The search engine will provide an informative listing of the details of all available applications. This will enable the user to quickly scan the library and find applications of interest. AmigaShare would like to announce that within the next fortnight, Phase 1 delivery of the web site will be made available to the community.

The main component of Phase 1 is a feature-rich Software Library for OS4 and compatible applications. The search engine will provide an informative listing of the details of all available applications. This will enable the user to quickly scan the library and find applications of interest.

A powerful feature of the library search engine is the ability to nominate a project if a search returns no result. The community can decide to support the idea and have the application developed. The sponsorship program is integrated with the search feature specifically for this purpose...to grow the application layer and the community!

For instance, the Software Library will allow:

Uploads:
Either Authors themselves or any interested party can upload OS4 and compatible applications. With each application that is uploaded, there will be information such as:

* Detailed description of the purpose of the application
* Its Categories
* Platform Requirements
* Screenshots
* Homepage Link and Email
* Licensing details
* Hard and soft links to downloads
* For classic Applications, OS4 Compatibility.
* Authors can make available their shareware or commercial applications through this portal, knowing that users will find it easily, understand its purpose see what users think of their work and ideas.

Downloads:
A fully-featured search facility will allow the user to quickly locate the application of choice. You can even filter things out based on your profile settings.

There will be a number of features that relate to downloads. Namely:

* Public Rating of the application, and comments
* Exclusive Reviews
* Download counters
* Integration with the Application Sponsorship Program(when Available). I.e. The ability to nominate projects if a search returns no results. Sponsored projects that are underway and that meet your search criteria will also show in the Software library listing.
Also, as proof of our commitment to keep the Amiga community informed, we will showcase the majority of features that the AmigaShare website will provide. Whilst the Software library will be the only functioning area for Phase 1 delivery, all Amigans will see just how relevant and comprehensive this website will be for their every-day Amiga use and why AmigaShare will be touted as the one-stop portal for all enthusiasts and new-comers alike.


Regards,

The AmigaShare Team

And before anyone else says anything, I understand choochy's point and agree with it. It's good to set up an infrastructure for your favourite OS to help it grow. But pointing out that there won't be a floodgate of software is hardly trolling, even by Gregg's oversensitive standards.
