Received an e-mail today, from Karl, about a new website he's been developing, dedicated to Haiku compatible software, and only Haiku compatible software. The name of the site is Haikuware. He resumed working on the site after HaikuBits went down and under and it's now online and available for users to browse. Users who register can then upload their software for others to download and try, and each registered will have a 50MB upload limit, per transfer. The total storage space per user is limited only by the available space for the site, which is about 5GB.

It's always good to see new Haiku sites come up, but I wonder how it'll co-exist with BeBits, which has been the software site for all BeOS related OSes for years and years. Time will tell.

P.S.: Karl is looking for icons to use on the site, Haiku icons of 32x32 in png format and also a new site logo. Any takers contact him.

Update: Haikuware now has, up and running, a brand new Haiku Hardware Compatability Database. As most (all?) of these go, users are invited to help it increase in size, by submitting their own hardware to the list, where they can include their comments on the piece, include a link to its homepage, etc.
