If Ada is going to enter new domains (non safety critical embedded
systems), it needs the tools to do it.
Ada needs a free (copy left) RAD front end that outputs Ada code for any
compiler along with a powerful reporting system.
If you are intersted in helping to make it happen, e-mail
RapidAda@Botton.com.
Even if you can not contribute time to code, write documentation, design
icons, etc. Maybe you can help by adding your ideas and answers to
questions like:
What features would you like to see in a product like this?
What products already exist that could be integrated with this?
What is your dream IDE?
How could we get companies to contribute hardware, compilers, bindings,
etc. to get this done quicker and cheaper?
