Hi trans,
Yes it is indeed :)

Then it seems the goal isn't too far off.
And hasn't been for a while now. It's just that things keeps improving because incompatabilities are discovered. So on the outside it seems to stand still a bit sometimes.

I wonder at what point in the 90 percentile will be "good enough" to proclaim success?
Ofcourse this is a personal opinion for everyone to decide. Still some things are lacking which is needed to be more compatible. f.e. the Zune/MUI compatibility is atm something that shows in every day usage. The bounty was already taken, turned down and taken again :D

Gosh. It's so close that I almost feel like drumming up a "call to bounty" campaign to push it to the finish line.
Ofcourse this is my personal opinion but i don't think the core-developers need such thing atm. Ofcourse if you want to send in money to p2p to support aros devs then please do :)
The work is moving steadily towards the end-goal of being AmigaOS compatible. But Aros is more, and aims to go beyond that as well.
Imo that is exactly what is a difficult thing for the core-developers.
One day someone ask for better support for his/her graphics card, another asks for better support for his/her audiocard.
And underneath in the Aros core a lot of things sometimes changes in order to make it ready to be prepared for future implementations.
for example deadwood is backporting almost two years of inner-core development even as we speak (so please take note of the new released versions of distributions like Icaros and AspireOS).
And core developers time is limited, so what to choose ? Caught between a rock and a hard place :/

Is it enough for a Kickstarter?
We work with bounties. Much more reliable :).
Please don't forget the number of core-developers is low and their time limited. Everyone knows what needs to be done in order to let Aros complete some of it's goals. It's just that not everybody out there is fit for the job (sort of speak).
In that regards you can help as well. Evryone can. Translate some text, do some development, report issues and above all try and enjoy the use of aros :-)
On a sidenote: 68k development is lacking a bit lately because core 68k developers are pretty much occupied delivering support for other platforms for Aros. If you know someone (or perhaps yourself) is able to give a hand then let them contact the developers on aros-exec.org or the developers mailinglist. We most certainly can use an extra pair of hands.
No Problem :)

Glad to be here among fellow Arosians!
Same-o-same-o :D
