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.
