We have not heard even a slight peep about it in quite some time here and updates to the web site seem to be at or near zero. I don't even see a discussion page on the website, so who is doing the debating? Its a shame - I'd love to see an Ada OS available for PCs, etc. However, I think that the project was just too ambitious to succeed. If it had the first objective being a simple, embedable OS to handle scheduling and I/O, it might have got to that level - then been able to progress from there. A good, solid, real-time executive would be a good place to start for a more robust PC-ish OS.
