But may be this shouldn't just be the OS but maybe be opensource ada components. I have registered on the Ada OS project, but would like more discussion going on about design and architecture as one thing I'm sure we all agree on is that we do not just want to re invent the desktop. And some really interesting ideas for multi machine internet servers / servers and embedded stuff could be examined, with out dispersing the discussion regarding the ada language...
