Is that end-user extendable? I've never had a reason to try.
I'd agree that given the name "Interfaces" we'd be wise to include
anything that smacked of a "binding" into that part. For example, you
might have a Ada.OS or a Standard.OS that provided some Ada-flavored,
portable (mostly) facilities for using common OS capabilities.
(Directories, files, networks, etc.) Then under "Interfaces" you might
have "Interfaces.Windows" that provided thin bindings to the Win32api.
The Ada user has a choice: Build his app with the Ada-ish, portable
features found in Standard.OS and suffer whatever limitations might have
been sacrificed for the greater good of "portability" *OR* dip directly
into the non-portable Win32api and get full access to anything the OS
provides while suffering through the C-ish nature of the interface.
I still think that the question of how to organize the tree(s) is
something that could be hammered out at a later point. If we got a
charter from the vendors and ARG to do *something* a SIGAda team might
be formed up to come up with the "how" issues and perhaps start
establishing some guidelines. Get acceptance for the concept, then set
someone up to be the Keeper Of The Eternal Flame and act as the
editor/publisher. They'd come back to the principals and say "Here's our
plan..." From there, it just starts to become a mere matter of technical
details and probably funding.
If we wanted to, we could get all tangled up in details such as "What
should we use for a configuration management system?" or "What document
formats should we support?" Eventually, we'd have to answer those
questions, but right now, we've got a bigger issue of gaining acceptance
for the general concept. I'd think we want to worry about that first and
let the rest fall out as "implementation details" once someone sets the
direction and annoints an editor or team of editors to go worry about it.
