Incresing the number of RISC O users - How?

Everybody knows that the RISC OS userbase has taken a nosedive since Acorn Computer’s untimely demise, and that I’m a card-carrying member of one who have used RISC OS professionally in computer graphics, layout, desktop publishing, print to PostScript, bring diskette(s) with files for burning to film (today it’s printed direct to plate, so I got moss for a beard there – film isn’t dead, it just smells funny..).

So I think the Desktop Publishing for web and print is something RISC OS is pretty good at as it stands, except for the 64-bit Multicore thingy hanging over it as a French Revolution. We have a King here in Norway too, was a good sailor in his youth, has been some Royal brouhaha with the Behn affair but thats a modern thing, ancient as the hills.

To be Global is good, so the collection of highclass multilingual Fonts forged by Edward Detyna (Rest In Peace, You Were Great.) and his Electronic Font Foundry is a cornerstone in multilingual publishing for RISC OS, only it has disappeared from the face of The multilingual Earth. My challenge to you DTP-minded folks out there is to find out if the EFF collection is filed on modern media somewhere, and if/how it can be made available, sold as usual. So RISC OS can deliver as-is. The company infrastructure in the RISC OS World may not be set up to do that it requires massive cooperation. Viva Acorn.

This will even have value as things stand in 26/32.bit Land, using already existing software (Ovation Pro, ArtWorks, Photodesk, Printerdrivers etc.) to make a competing productive DTP System. Are we currently good at pro-level video/audio editing?

Just want to know.

A good start is getting WiFi to a more stable state. There also needs to be a simple, OOTB way for a person to set it up on an SD card and configure the space allocated. More handholding. It’s not going to be clear to people how to install and update things. Or what’s available and how to find it.

Have you taken a look at the list of participants in the development of Cubase, there are almost as numerous the RISC OS users, unfortunately!

For audio, I use Henrik B. Pedersen’s programs.

I record wav files via USB and can edit them.
