`10.Mar.2004` amigaworld.net (Website)	Project: "Become a programmer's sponsor" Since a couple of days at amigaworld.net an idea is being discussed to improve attraction to program for AmigaOS4 by starting a financial sponsorship. The original idea has been to provide free AmigaOne systems but actually all possibilities of sponsoring are discussed. Because the idea seems to be attractive to many readers (the initiator said there are considerable funds already) a mailing list has been started which will cover all further discussion.
