The current status as near as I can tell is the following: 1 We have a spec for unbounded lists. 2 I have an implementation, which is mostly tested. 3 I have a request in about the name, but only got a response that the request was being forwarded. Its tough going because I can't find any contact information for the folks who made the old Ada83 "GRACE" components. I think they may be essentially dead and gone. Given that, and the fact that they trademarked "GRACE" and not "Grace", I think we may be OK using the name (at least tenatively during the beta stages), but I'm sure some will disagree. 4 Before releasing what I have, I'm beginning to think the effort requires something considerably more formal that what we have been working for. In particular, I'd like to see a full-blown CVS-controlled project, perhaps hosted on Savannah or AdaPower. This would also allow us to take some of the discussion traffic off of the newsgroup, which I think some here would be very appreciative of. Mostly what has been sidetracking progress is that I'd like to do 4, but to do it we need some kind of resolution of 3 (I'd imagine changing the name of a hosted project would be a real pain). --- T.E.D.
