I was just about to suggest you just start accepting update submissions from
the public at large. Editing a web page is fairly easy with the newer
versions of Netscape. Then I stumbled across
http://www.adahome.com/HBAP/Submission.html .

Perhaps a large part of the problem is that its not well publicized that folks
can do this. Hmmm....the copyright notice at the bottom of the page seems to
prohibit any submissions that include the previous contents of an AdaHome page
(that would be a "reproduction in part", right?) That would make submitting a
modification a copyright violation! Perhaps a clarification is in order.

You might even be able to get some major tasks done for free, if you let it be
known what needs doing.

It is nearing the end of the year. All you compiler and tool vendors out there
need to start thinking about spending some extra advertising dough in order to
raise your business' advertising tax deductions...
