Yes and I would rename the section "desktop/web applications".

My message was forwarded to you.

You did not look hard :) There is a link on the main page: "En savoir 
plus." and in this page we give information about the project and at the 
bottom we clearly say that it is built in Ada and using AWS and Gwiad 
(with direct links). This is also a nice demo for the AWS's Ajax 
framework I would say.

Yes, it is Open Source.

Well, it is Open Source so we are ready for contribution. The story is 
simple. We did (with Olivier Ramonat which is the co-developer) use 
another service for photo critics. This Web site was closed and all the 
sources disappear as not Open Source. So we decided to built one 
ourself! But we do not have the time resource to build one in all 
languages :)
