Mailinglist now has over 162 members and over 240 messages, most are about programming and porting Mozilla.

AmiZilla website has gotten over 1 million hits since appearing on the famous unix geek website slashdot.

AmiZilla continues to gather positive press for the Amiga and MorphOS by being covered on mainstream websites like CNET's news.com, mozillazine.org and many others.

Amiga Inc. representative Fleecy Moss has commented they like AmiZilla but will not contribute to the Initiative because a port is also underway for MorphOS.

New! AmiZilla poster "I Want You" by Eric Schwartz available in two sizes for webmasters that want to promote AmiZilla on their site.

New! AmiZilla Banner designed by Luca Ferraris.

New! Female Russian artist hired to create mascot for MorphOS version of Mozilla port.

New! Genesi and Phoenix Developer Consortium have been watching the project with great interest for some time. and may contribute funds.

Keep in mind that the AmiZilla Project needs you to be successful. The booty is now over $4122, which is a impressive amount of money for an Amiga project. If only one programmer was working on the port this would be a nice reward. However several programmers are working together. Once the money is split among coders the booty is not big enough. Please contribute if you can, every dollar helps motivate programmers to make the AmiZilla Project a success. After the release of AmiZilla more projects are being developed like Hot CoCo (JVM) and F Gordon (Flash). The development and launch of these add-ons to AmiZilla depend on the success of that project. Paypal donations can be sent in via this weblink.

About AmiZilla

The goal of the AmiZilla effort is to raise such an obscene/huge amount of money to give away to the first programmer/team that can port Mozilla to Amiga/Compatible systems that programmers will be falling over themselves getting this application coded in record time.

I don't see a problem here. These developers agreed to this the minute they started contributing to the project.

Right, and GCC developers are really unpaid Apple employees, and French people are just German people who happen to live in a different part of Europe, have a different culture and a different language. Isn't Iggy just another word for "Moron" ?

In reply to Comment 50 (Sturm):
"Know Arexx? I need to get a little something done in arexx. It reads the first
line of a list.txt file, it uses that for a function. What the problem is is
how do I move that line to be the last line on the list? "

If the file is less than 32k, you can load it all into RAM as a string, and manipulate it there. Then write it back to disk when done. You might want to rewrite it as list2.txt, and then use the DOS "rename" command to change list.txt to list1.txt.

Ah come on! That story is old. If Genesi doesn't want to bunble it, any other company can. If there's no other company doing that, is because Genesi doesn't want it.

I'd much prefer to see all this effort given to Aweb or Ibrowse development. Mozilla makes no sense to me on amiga....it's so frigging huge. I could maybe see porting the gecko rendering engine but not the entire project.

In reply to Comment 25 (Elwood):
Elwood: FOr the moment, Ibrowse does only a little bit better than Aweb and Voyager. Amizilla is the most compatible option for the Amigas (with an "s") to surf the web without being compelled to use Windows or Linux.
IBrowse is great but very far from perfection.
