| Which Ada FAQ? If you are talking about the c.l.a FAQ at
| http://www.adahome.com/FAQ/comp-lang-ada.html , please do take it if you
| are willing. It hasn't been updated in almost 2 years and hasn't been
| posted in 3 years. As a result newbies have little recourse other than
| to go ahead and ask their FAQ's (eg: Getting Gnat to run on Red Hat 6)
| over and over again.
|
| Since it is not being properly taken care of, and you have asked about
| it and gotten no response in a reasonable amount of time, it would seem
| reasonable to pronounce it "dead" and take it over yourself.
|
| Unfortunately, Magnus has the old FAQ copyrighted with a rather
| restrictive license. I don't think you can legitimately modify the old
| it without his express permission. However, that FAQ has grown so stale
| that starting over really wouldn't be such a bad idea anyway. I would
| suggest that you use a more open license than Magnus, so that we don't
| have to go through this again.
