A few ways to get programmers:

I suggest that on this forum they are given a title called "MorphOS Programmer". The MorphOS Core Developers are obviously called "MorphOS Developer" and they probably have moderator or admin privileges but the MorphOS Programmer would not necessarily require such privileges ... only the title. Bounty Managers are called "Bounty Managers" and Moderators are called "Moderators" but if they are just 3rd party MorphOS Programmers then they can have the title for MorphOS Programmer. This will give them perhaps motivation to continue programming and it will help everybody else know who is a MorphOS Programmer. To qualify for a title on the Morph Zone forum, then they must have successfully completed and released the software or other important contribution to MorphOS. They will not be paid, unless there is a bounty for such.

Port MorphOS to a Pi device or any other device that attracts developers and coders. You might disagree based on that while RISC OS is a "old" OS that found new future with Pi device, they were always on the ARM Hardware. And also that while a native AROS ARM kernel was being made, there are very few developers interested. Perhaps if MorphOS was presented better, the developers would be interested.

Attempt to collaborate with AROS developers. Why just attract Linux? With either source of incoming developers, they need not follow the philosophy of Unix / Linux when programming for MorphOS.

Write the articles. I will attempt to write an article soon.

Do not do any more for The Legacy that anchors MorphOS into Long Past. Instead, The Legacy should be placed into The Emulator. If people do not like The Emulator, then interested programmers could port a native version to The Target Hardware. Target Hardware means PowerPC (the 68K software is that obviously not native version for PowerPC currently exists.) and it also means The Future Target Hardware. Some software may never be ported outside of The Emulator, because of The Proprietary Software.

I believe without suggestions such as these and also those made by other people on this topic, MorphOS future is bleak unless the suggestions have been accomplished.
