You make a couple of statements at the end of a thread 150+ messages stating gripes about things you tried but haven't asked for help where you got stuck and somehow that is "indicative of the situation", i.e. that no one picks up on a troll?

Perhaps:

1. Start a new thread with a specific issue you need help on
2. Start a new thread with one specific issue you want to know how or if is being addressed by others
3. Start a new thread about what _you_ plan on contributing or how you would like to contribute

The Ada community doesn't need people to tell them what is wrong, they need people to do something about it.

When I rant it is part of a clear agenda of a strategic set of actual actions, code, and deliverables, i.e. part of the solution.

It seems that you have skills you can put to use for coding or helping to build reusable non-license viral compiler packages, etc. Looking forward to see your solutions.
