Subject: Reviews of Ada products/bindings
Message-ID: <9306291447.aa28490@Paris.ics.uci.edu>
List-Id: <comp.lang.ada>

Thanks to Michele L. Kee of the Ada Information Clearinghouse for
clarifying my message entitled "FAQ on Ada products/bindings".  I
realize now that I should have placed more context in my message.

To wit:  The idea for this "FAQ" came from Michael Feldman who wanted
a document created that contains reviews from readers of comp.lang.ada
on Ada products and Ada bindings.  This FAQ then would not replace the
AdaIC FAQ but instead supplement it.  Thus you could find out that such
and such a product exists from the AdaIC FAQ and then check this FAQ to
find out it people like it.

In essence, this is a FAQ for the readers of comp.lang.ada written by
the readers of comp.lang.ada.

I have ftp'd the AdaIC FAQ and will use it to ensure that this FAQ does not
needlessly duplicate information that it contains. (Are there any other
related FAQs out there that I should be aware of?)

So given this context, I would now like to ask for two things:

  1. Requests for reviews of any Ada products/bindings.
  2. Reviews of Ada products/bindings.
     (Since people may not have time to write full reviews, I'll take
      impressions also.  Then in the FAQ a "review" of a particular
      product may just be a list of impressions that people have about
      the product.)

Reviews will not be static entities, they will evolve as people submit
more information to be included.


Please send requests or reviews to kanderso@ics.uci.edu.

As I receive requests, I will group them together and post them to
comp.lang.ada for people to respond if they wish.

As I receive reviews, I will compile them into the FAQ and then post the
FAQ to comp.lang.ada once a month.

Thanks for your time,

Ken Anderson

P.S. My message caused people to send in some more questions, I will post
     these questions in an upcoming message...
