Port Mozilla, Collect $3696

Posted by timothy on from the but-to-amiga dept.

An anonymous reader writes "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 that Amiga programmers will be falling over themselves getting this application coded in record time. The booty currently stands at $3696. Parties interested in making some extra cash to pay off student loans/go on a wild bender can find more infomation here."

    Lets see now, Moz takes 34 minutes to load on my Athlon 1.7. On an Amiga it would take aprox...Yep; It does turn out that one can pay off student loans by the time Mozilla loads on an Amiga.

    I'm all for porting and getting things running on obscure platforms, but why is getting Mozilla on the Amiga the one that people put up the cash prizes for? Aren't there development projects more worthy of a financial incentive than getting a browser to run on hopelessly-outdated hardware, no matter how rabid the geek-niche userbase?

    It's fun and all, but couldn't that money have been better spent on rewarding developers to make something more likely to be useful? I'm sure the crowd here can come up with a long list of more deserving sources for a couple thousand dollars.

    I'll start by nominating the EFF.

    No, that was under KDE. Under GNOME it takes 48 minutes to load. Even with FVWM2 it takes 16 minutes.
