Bounty: Enhancing "Workbook" to real Workbench 3.1-clone
"Workbook" is the minimalist Workbench-clone for AROS 68k. Due to the limited usage of this solution, Olaf Schönweiß has established a bounty for enhancing it to functionality of the original Workbench 3.1.
The following requirements have to be fulfill to complete the bounty:
- Support standard AmigaOS3.1 .info files
- Manually position & snapshot / unsnapshot icons and windows
- Drag & drop icons to copy / move (the icon being moved must be shown below the mouse pointer while dragging occurs)
- Make new directories
- Delete files & directories
- Rename files & directories
- View / edit file information / tooltypes
- Leave out / put away
- Make Show All Files / Show Only Icons work as per description
The required functionality has to be available in the ROM version of Workbook, "that is booting a disk only containing the LoadWB command will allow usage of Workbook with these functionalities."
Additionaly the following functionalities can be added at the discretion of the developer but are not required:
- Support for the Tool menu
- List-view mode (view + manage files as in icon mode)

Video: Egoshooter on an Amiga with "SharkPPC"
With their project SonnetAmiga, the Polish developers of Sakura IT (available products: PCMCIA-SRAM-card, external disk drive) has put into practice the idea of a PowerPC exzension for Mediator-PCI-boards, which originally Elbox was going to.
Under the title link Quake II runs on such an Amiga equipped with a Sonnet-7200-card. To the SonnetAmiga project mainly belongs the sonnet.library, which is supposed to be API- and ABI-compatible with the powerpc.library of WarpOS. Because the project still is in development, there are only limited features so far. An Amiga 3000/4000 (T) as well as a Voodoo 3 or Radeon-92xx graphic board are required .
