amiga-news.de: Homepage shows news of the last seven days In May the editorial staff did carry out a survey and asked the readers how many news should be presented on the homepage. 60% of the participants did declare themselves in favour of reading more news in future. Our programmer Sven Drieling now adapted the homepage according to the result of the poll: From today on amiga-news.de always shows the news of the last seven days. Of course each reader can configure the homepage in this way he likes best: If you want to go back to the original view or even want to get presented more news, you can configure that.

Poll: how many news items should be displayed on the amiga-news.de front page? The Amiga scene went through a lot of change in the last decade: it used to be an alternative desktop computer system with active users, now it's a hobby for retro enthusiasts and collectors. This had effects on both the amount of news items published by amiga-news.de - it shrank from 10 to 15 items per day to just 3 or 4 per day - and the behaviour of our readers: many of them only check in every few days now. While every reader could theoretically configure the front page to suit his needs, experience shows that most people simply use the default settings without ever changing them. That's why we would like to ask our users what their preferred configuration for the front page would be. (cg) (Translation: cg) [News message: 20.

amiga-news.de: our policy regarding app stores With Amigakit's Amistore and Pascal Papara's indieGO!, app stores have entered the Amiga scene. As news items about new or updated titles exclusively available in an app store always equal advertisement for the actual store, it is in the vendors' interest to generate many small updates to achieve as much coverage on news sites as possible - which would result in software from app stores getting more coverage on amiga-news.de than applications distributed through other means. This is why amiga-news.de staff decided to use a more conservative approach for app store titles than we do when covering software distributed through traditional websites. While we usually try to cover any and all software updates or new releases in a timely manner, in case of software from app stores we will try to evaluate if the actual improvements or the usefulness of an application are newsworthy. To help with that process, we tried to formulate a set of guidelines for our approach to app stores. For transparency's sake, these guidelines will be published here as well. The staff would appreciate feedback and further suggestions - after all, this is a first for the team as well.
If updates for app store software get released, customers should be automatically notified via the app store's client software, which means it is no longer necessary to cover every single bugfix update in a news item. To prevent app store owners from trying to increase coverage by releasing lots of smaller exclusive titles or updates, amiga-news.de might ignore smaller releases that would have usually been covered as part of a weekly news item about Aminet uploads or something like that.
