Input to the MetalWEB
Good, in reality would not have to be I who will begin to count a little the history of the MetalWEB and of the great time that I carry test the versions near my companions of the SOGA group, but since I have the opportunity, I will speak than what have lived during these two years, that I believe that has of life MetalWEB, and if I mistake me, that Pedro amends me afterwards.
The history starts when Pep commented to Pedro to accomplish it something large, that Amiga did not had, that needed. We could set us in the program for Macintosh, the Adobe PageMill. This great program only this available for the platforms that all we know and Amiga how always, remain outside of place.l The PageMill isMsupported by a company, with many software developers and with many desire ofamaking money, but, nothing for nothing for Amiga.
When Pedro spoke me by Email of the fact that ibamos to receive a surprise for power test it, never I imagined me that was going to be the first - " diapers " - for the MetalWEB. Right now, already I am speaking of January of 1.997. It were wanted to have the version 1.0 terminated for the Euskal Party that was in July and that had quite bugs, were hung in the simplest things and was seeming than was not very viable the idea.
Then, it was ' happening the time and many times demoralized Pedro because the things not leave to him, since was counting us that equal was aborting the project, that not leave to him and that better to retire on time. The SOGA people was dumped thoroughly in their helps and that motivated to him yet more to devote much more time to learn to program more and be able to do of MetalWEB in his first version an authentic delight. As soon as we arrive to July, the Euskal and the version 1.0 of the terminated MetalWEB. Simply genial. Of the first Threads that I could see until 1.0 can observe and say of my own word that the work has been incredible, all the bugs fixeds and that outspokenly to edit a page of Internet with the MetalWEB is issue of a pair of minutes and without be complicated the life.
In the Euskal, a lot of people was recorded, given motive for this to follow working and severely for power to obtain that frames will operate perfectly, that is arrived to support tables, the power to go inserting ASCII text created in any document, etc....and many of the things, today already supports them MetalWEB. It will follow growing and enhancing if all we followed supporting it and helping it. Now, after my small comment, I leave you with their real designers, since I have seen it to born and I have lived it far from them, without knowing indeed the problems to those which have been faced. Here I leave you with the programmers of the better pages editing program, METALWEB.
" -... respect to the MetalWEB, in principle, it was how an insanity that was gone through us the head. The idea how well you say was to make something large, something that actually helped the people of Amiga. As therefore days we estabamos very inserted in Internet, single we would see things for Internet, and among them was occurred us a that still nobody had made and by certain a lot of people was wishing, a pages editor html visual or WYSIWYG. The AMIGA were deserved one. Already there were too page editors in mode txt. All the people that were knowing that had attempted it or deliberate had waived, but because not?.
As soon as we put ourselves to make the MetalWEB..... that it seems you?... " -
