Some press articles about Amaya:

• Hitflip Lexikon, February, 2007

  Amaya - der Webbrowser für Webentwickler - Hitflip

  "Wie einfach die Software zu bedienen ist, findet man im Selbstversuch am besten raus. Man lädt und installiert die knapp 8 MB große Datei auf seinem Rechner und ruft dann eine Webseite nach Wahl auf. Nun klickt man direkt in den Text und kann diesen auf ohne Umwege verändern. Besitzt man Schreibrechte für den Server, kann man nach einem Klick auf „Save“ das Dokument wieder speichern. Wirklich einfach!".

  Amaya a win for Web coding - by Bill Dubie and Dave Sciuto

  "The lack of a right-click menu annoyed us, as did the inability to easily change text color and font, but as a "what you see is what you get" tool, Amaya let us edit our content and simultaneously view the code. Amaya's strength lies in its support of strict XHTML and XML standards".

  A trio of open source niche browsers - by Lee A. Spain

  "The special capabilities of Amaya should make it appealing to a variety of niche audiences. For example, academics, journalists, and other researchers should find the annotation features useful for adding their own notes to useful Web content. These notes would be available whenever they return to the page with Amaya. Web authors can readily use the tool to create Web content or collaborate with other writers. Finally, mathematicians and scientists should also embrace Amaya for its ability to create and display Web pages that use MathML. Currently, only Mozilla/Firefox, Netscape, and Amaya natively support MathML".

  Initiation à Amaya 9.1 - par Yves Bailly

  "Amaya fait partie de ces rares éditeurs capables de créer et d'afficher correctement des formules mathématiques décrites selon la norme MathML".

  Amaya 9.0 beats (easily) Nvu on CSS because of Gecko - by Daniel Glazman

  "Amaya 9.0 has a wonderful feature. I mean it has a feature I wish we could have in Gecko for Nvu and in fact all Gecko-based applications because it would allow us to finely debug stylesheets. Amaya is able from the computed style of a given property on a given element, to climb the Cascade and retrieve the CSS declaration that eventually triggered, after the whole Cascade's process, that computed value."

• Libération, 3 février, 2005

  Au salon du logiciel libre, les managers font leur marché - par Alexandre Laurent

  " Amaya, environnement complet d'édition et navigateur pour le web intègre une foule de fonctionnalités dont ne disposent pas les équivalents payants. Libre, cela va de soi. «Le but est de faire des pages conformes aux recommandations du W3C (consortium qui crée des standards pour le web, ndlr), vraiment accessibles à tous. Par exemple, Amaya incite fortement le créateur de site à mettre un texte alternatif sur les images, pour que les non-voyants qui le fréquenteront ne soient pas trop pénalisés.» ..."

  Lightweight Web Browsers -by Kamil Klimkiewicz

  "Amaya is one of the most interesting applications covered in this short article. The project is managed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), a quite solid institution. It is used as a testing ground for new Web technologies (it supports MathML, SVG, etc.). The first public version dates to 1996, and the current one is 7.1. It is developed very actively; new releases are published very often, sometimes more than once a month. Nevertheless, it is fairly stable. ... Since the W3C uses Amaya to showcase its new technologies, it supports many standards, even the newest ones. It gives you an opportunity to check them out and even (thanks to its editing capabilities) create something really interesting."

  WinWriters Manages Update of Online Documentationfor the W3C Amaya Editor/Browser

  "A team of volunteer writers, managed by Matthew Ellison of WinWriters, recently completed an update of the online documentation for version 5.3 of the Amaya editor/browser."

  Browsers - Seeing into the Future - by Richard Ibbotson

  "These exciting new developments range from the latest in XHTML and the use of HTTP/1.1 with its advantages of built in security and pipelining to save that precious resource of bandwidth. Then there is methyl (MathML) and Scalable Vector Graphics protocols coming to assist in the presentation of technical subjects but treated with the ease of pain text. ... So, Amaya isn't so much a Web Browser, it's much more a browser into what the Web will be. Great fun for tinkerers and web designers who want to be on the bleeding edge of developments."

  SVG: Where Are We Now? - by Antoine Quint

  "Using Amaya you can edit multi-XML-namespaced documents in a WYSIWYG manner. In fact, Amaya is the only tool out there that allows for SVG content generation as part of an XML document, WYSIWYG-style."

  Créer une page Web avec Amaya - by Moïse Valvassori

  "Face au développement d'Internet, l'univers Linux n'est pas en reste. Le navigateur/éditeur Amaya s'avère même être un atout.....Là où il était souvent nécessaire de connaître le langage HTML sur le bout des doigts, notamment pour pallier les aléas de la mise en forme sur le Net, le logiciel de navigation et d'édition Amaya veille au grain."

  Trois questions à... Irène Vatton - by Mathieu Crocq

  "Amaya rend la création des documents aussi simple que leur lecture  : c'est ce qui le différencie, depuis sa naissance, des produits commerciaux. Mais Amaya est surtout un outil de recherche, qui nous permet de nous projeter dans l'avenir. Nous travaillons sur des projets et des normes qui n'intéressent pas les industriels  : le langage de description des formules mathématiques MathML, par exemple, indispensable à l'enseignement."

• Webmaster, March 2000

  Amaya - Paweł Przewłocki

  "I na tym zakończymy nasz opis przeglądarki o wdzięcznej nazwie Amaya. Jest to niewątpliwie ciekawe rozwiązanie. Czy na tyle ciekawe, aby warto było wypróbować własnoręcznie jego wady i zalety? Odpowiedź na to pytanie pozostawiam Tobie, Szanowny Czytelniku."

  Web Browsing on Linux - by Chris Halsall

  "One of the joys of Amaya is that it's more than a browser. It's also a WYSIWYG editor with an extremely powerful set of tools to help web authors create, analyze, and debug their HTML documents... There simply isn't time to go over all of the abilities of Amaya, but one very compelling reason to give it a try is the variety of different document views available."

  W3C' Amaya Browser Simplifies Web Editing - by Jim Rapoza

  "Every company should test the W3C's experimental browser, if only for a valuable glimpse at the future of the Web. Businesses evaluating Web content management packages should also investigate Amaya because most of its editing capabilities are both more effective and easier to use than those provided by content management applications."

  Amaya, la troisième voie - by Yves Eudes

  "Il a intégré dès sa conception toutes les fonctions d'édition de pages Web, se hissant d'emblée au niveau des éditeurs commerciaux les plus perfectionnés. Avec Amaya, un auteur de site Web peut modifier à distance le contenu et la maquette de ses pages, aussi facilement que s'il travaillait sur un simple traitement de texte."

  W3C's reference client: Amaya, version 0.8 - by Henning Behme

  "As an editor, Amaya has the advantage of being the first to have implemented HTML 3.2 and style sheets. Amaya can also write files, including associated images, to a WWW server, instead of into the file system by HTTP."
