More On Phoenix Developer Consortium

Mike Bouma writes: "The Phoenix Developer Consortium is an developer organisation which is unhappy with the currently available computing solutions. John Chandler has written an article about a small start-up company which has been one of many developers to tap into the organisation for resource contacts and advice. "It allowed them to extend their resources and survive the perils of being a small company in a large world." If you are a similar minded developer and want to join and help others or yourself to take your Ideas2Reality contact Greenboy and include the following information (signing a NDA will be required). Among the members are important figures involved in the development of OSes like the Amiga DE, MorphOS and QNX RtP."

I've got some what-ifs too!

However, and here's the interesting part for the Amiga community, there is no reason why it can't run anything else - Ideas2Reality will even provide open documentation on the platform for third-party developers. In fact, when I asked them if something like MorphOS might be seen on the platform, "We're looking into it!" came the excitable reply. Good news indeed if it goes ahead.

Hey, I can play the what-if game too!

1. If it gets funded
   
2. If it gets built and
   
3. If it's affordable and
   
4. If it's implemented well and
   
5. If developers rally around it and
   
6. If consumers buy it and
   
7. If it gets a strong application base and
   
8. If it doesn't get bought out and quashed by current heavyweight, then

It could be the platform for you!
