The GNAVI project has existed since 1999 started with GNATCOM (actually 
it started before that with a framework I called GWin, it was more 
GtkAda like, that got scrapped... there may be a link to it some where 
on AdaPower) and has continued since then. Development has been going 
on continuously by me and others since then.

As mentioned early on in the discussions, I and others have not decided 
to stop developing the GNAVI project because we either need it or enjoy 
doing it regardless of what decision is made for the basis of a "new" 
community based project.

I like the SourceForge idea and after looking more I decided to use it 
for the GNAVI project.

I have always encouraged and been open to participation in the project 
and many have and do participate writing whatever they need or enjoy 
writing, freedom the FSF Open Source way.

If the consensus is to use CLAW as the basis, decide to take part of 
and fork out all of the GNAVI project code, ie. GNATCOM and GWindows to 
date, build another from scratch, or join the existing GNAVI project is 
all cool by me. As long as others are using Ada, writing code, I'm 
happy.

I think my preference is that we all work together on the GNAVI 
project, but as I have said before when I can I would help here and 
there with any project that is born.

<<Your actions speak otherwise. >>
I think that the lines of code (there are a couple :-), time and money 
that I have donated to the entire community along with my sincere 
interest and actions in advocating Ada and encouraging (in fact 
begging) others to become part of - that includes making the decisions 
- projects that I or others have started over the years speak well for 
my self (even if my need to make a living, visit reality, etc. don't 
always speak so well to some).

Well, Perhaps I am overly full of myself (or something else) and like 
yourself get a bit to emotional about a computer language and community 
of people I enjoy working with, but we all have our faults (even if 
ours are good ones :-).
