Personally, I'd love to go off and write all these projects. And when
work peters out on OpenToken I probably will do one of them (if they are
still feasable at that point). But sadly even if I quit my job to work
on Open Source Ada projects full time I wouldn't have the time to do all
of the neat projects listed in this thread, much less al the others I'd
like to be able to do.
Its apparent that what's lacking is not good ideas for projects, but
good people willing to get them off the ground. Thus I would like to
personally challenge everyone who has contributed to this thread to put
their money where their mouth is. David Botton has a spot in the
AdaPower lab all warmed up and waiting for you.
For anyone seriously thinking about starting an OpenSource project, I
highly reccommend reading ESR's essays; available online at
