Which Ada FAQ? If you are talking about the c.l.a FAQ at
http://www.adahome.com/FAQ/comp-lang-ada.html , please do take it if you
are willing. It hasn't been updated in almost 2 years and hasn't been
posted in 3 years. As a result newbies have little recourse other than
to go ahead and ask their FAQ's (eg: Getting Gnat to run on Red Hat 6)
over and over again.
Since it is not being properly taken care of, and you have asked about
it and gotten no response in a reasonable amount of time, it would seem
reasonable to pronounce it "dead" and take it over yourself.
Unfortunately, Magnus has the old FAQ copyrighted with a rather
restrictive license. I don't think you can legitimately modify the old
it without his express permission. However, that FAQ has grown so stale
that starting over really wouldn't be such a bad idea anyway. I would
suggest that you use a more open license than Magnus, so that we don't
have to go through this again.
