First of all, I did do a quick search and couldn't find any thread related to this being posted previously on here but it was only a quick search so if this is a duplicate I'll apologise now.

I'm sure many on here will have seen the excellent Codebase64 site run by Frantic:

http://codebase64.org/doku.php

Is there such a thing as an Amiga equivalent of this site that I've been missing out on all along...? If there is just point me to it and stop reading now as the rest is irrelevant!

If not, how much interest / worth would there be in such a thing...?

I imagine there wouldn't be the same lunatic level of dedication and devotion as there is on the C64 scene to get it sorted which is a shame cos those guys set the example of how to keep a machine alive in my opinion.

But, with lots of small contributions from various members maybe a half decent archive could be compiled. It would be such a useful reference for so many people interested in dabbling with asm on the Amiga.

Could it even be hosted as something within the abime.net domains like AMR or HOL is...?

Anyways, just idly canvassing opinions really.

There is http://www.amigacoding.com/ but it's coming up on 12 months of inactivity and is sparse compared to codebase64.

Not trying to put anyone off from starting this, but judging by how amigacoding.com fared it's apparent that it will take a lot of effort developing and keeping a new Amiga coding site alive.

http://utilitybase.com/ has a forum, articles, resources, and news. It certainly supports 68k and AmigaOS classic even if there is not as much activity in those areas. At least it's updated (with viruses too).

There's also an equivalent for Amstrad (http://www.grimware.org/doku.php), too bad there isn't for Amiga Kamel

Yeah, Amiga Coding is a good site, but there are/were only 3 people that added new content - myself (mostly AMOS stuff), Samurai Crow and Spellcoder (owner & administrator of the site). It's been around for about 3 or 4 years now.

I have been sidetracked with stuff recently, but hope to add more AMOS info & pictures soon.

I think the problem with the Amiga is the scene if you like. It is fractured. There's EAB, Lemon, Amiga.org, amigaworld.net etc. Whilst there are a few members who visit more than one forum, on the whole users tend to stick to the one. Some are even arrogant and elitist, not just about "their" forum but the Amiga as a whole.

Creating a codebase that isn't tied to any one forum is the way forward. Unite the fractured Amigaverse on one front would be a start.

Though this is my opinion and I've barely been active recently!!

I agree with you completely, bippm.

A few years back I used to frequent Amiga.org alot, but these days my primary forum is EAB, followed by Lemon Amiga, AMOS Factory and Amiga Demoscene Archive.

I think the other problem is that those of us that are committed to the Amiga scene are already snowed under with our own projects (demo's, games, preservation of software and artwork etc.) that we have no time to devote to such projects
