We talked about doing the website in danish, but decided on english, as 
all danish programmers are fairly proficient in english, and if the site 
is in english, other people can benefit from the content also. It's a 
win/win situation. Had we done the website in danish, only very few 
people would benefit from the content.

When we planned the new website, we did discuss whether a new wiki was 
necessary or if we should just link directly to, for example, the Ada 
Programming wikibook, but we decided on going with our own, as we wanted 
freedom to do whatever we liked, and we guessed (maybe wrongly) that 
such freedom would not be possible, if we were to intrude on an already 
active wiki.

With our own wiki, we can write whatever we want, however we want. And 
if other people feel some of our content is good enough to be added to 
for example the Ada Programming wikibook, then they are more than 
welcome to grab the content in question and add it. Copy it, modify it, 
use it. All content on the ada-dk.org wiki is made available under the 
GFDL 1.3 license.

It does indeed matter. Thank you.  :o)
