Garry,
I'd say noone did not say nothing...
In fact we know nothing unless:
- Apparently there was and *maybe* still is some intention to make a BB2.
- Many suggestions on what to put in and how to handle it have been posted.
- No official announcement was released on BB2.
- In counterpoint, an official announcement was released on OS 3.9.
- BB2's status is not fully known (at least to me).
- My interpretation of inofficial speaking is sort of H&P has already
worked on BB2 and/or was going to work on it.
- My interpretation of inofficial speaking is that H&P is already
working on OS 3.9 and has/had to keep silent by contract/NDA.
Experts, please correct me if I am wrong.
I herewith would like to ask Amiga Inc. to stop this endless questionnaire by
speaking to the Amiga community in exact terms, or give H&P, possibly
Mr. Martin Steigerwald, permission to speak in a way we can stop.
The announcement that was made by Amiga Inc. is good to hear but
appears to me to be imprecise and partially unclear. I personally
dislike fluttering announcements. This can be truth or nothing
but good ideas fishing for glitter and glamour.
>From the information I read in the Amiga news and all posting,
I think that they have still not fully *designed* the product,
i.e. the specification of features and fixes has not yet been
totally completed.
Unfortunately I do not see any reasonable reason, why Amiga Inc.
does not like to reveal the topics of discussion to the public.
I guess the users out there would like to be involved into the
process of decision, at least myself would.
So I propose to release a feature list for publically discussing
the items of interest along with actual status updates and
run a customer product-feature voting.
