What actually this upstream is for ada-mode (Emacs/FSF or ada-mode/AdaCore)? If I have understood correctly, the mode has been completely integrated into Emacs and they are responsible for maintaining and developing it. Now what does the (there is already this functionality) mean? I have thought that ada-mode has support for cross-referencing in emacs 21.3 (don't know the ada-mode version), but I don't know what is wrong with it or what is better in the Ludovic version (I have never used cross-refs). >Therefore we will fork ada-mode. Any suggestion for another name? We seemingly will be forking the whole ada toolchain from GNAT to ada-mode, what about forking Ada itself. However, Ludovics ada-mode supports GNAT projects so what about gnat-mode or gnuada-mode. If the fork ever supports Ada2005, it could be ada05-mode or something similar. If it will not support Ada2005, it could be better to just supply patches for Emacs (I suppose that no huge changes have been made). -- Tapio
