Title: Bounty Wishlist: A Bounty for a port of Morph OS Browser Wayfarer
Post by: aurabin on October 06, 2020, 09:13:43 AM
I would gladly donate to a Bounty to a AROS port of the new Morph OS Browser Wayfarer!

Who is with me?

There are simply no developers left who have the time and motivation to take on a giant project like this.

In fact, there is not even anyone left to continously do minor maintenance work on Odyssey, which requires far less work by comparison.

I myself was looking for a programmer also putting ads online, but nothing, they all work in the windows / linux world and I had negative results

Wayfarer is closed-source.

I personally contacted the author of wayfarer and he told me that he has no experience with aros and that no programmer on our system team has not contacted him to do something about it. :-\

If you have experience programming for Amigaos 3.1,
is this the system on which AROS is based?

Does anyone cheer me up?

I discovered that in the preferences of owb disabling the processing of all the frames in the context menu regarding media and also what concerns multimedia, even heavier blogs that previously blocked the program now work, yahoo mail gives the possibility to import accounts not reachable at the moment, such as gmail etc ... etc ... :)

I can contribute by donating a certain amount in any case at least given the situation with wayfarer for the maintenance of odyssey 1.25 if this would entail a benefit ;)

It would be possible to sign the NDA, get the source code and compile it for AROS. However, MorphOS uses a stack not found in AmigaOS or AROS. (multimedia.library, etc). Presumably, the Wayfarer will take advantage of the MorphOS. This makes it non-portable to other like AmigaOS systems. The closed code tells us directly that we willn't see it on AmigaOS/AROS. Because it's not enough to get the code, you also need to rewrite it..  :(
