I'm not really an expert on HW, so I was wondering does it [the Pi] have the power to process the Kinect depth data?
This thread seems to indicate that it can run the EE9 emulator:

Second, I remember there being talk of Ada on/for the Pi, is that project still active?

No need, the recommnded OS is Raspbian, which is based on Debian.
I've been puttering on a project to access the MCP23017 I/O multiplexer
chip via the I2C bus on the Raspi: http://raspi-i2c-ada.sourceforge.net/

GNAT is included in the Raspbian OS for the Raspberry Pi.
ee9 was compiled on, and runs on, the Raspberry Pi.
When running ee9, the 32-bit, 700 MHz Raspberry Pi is 60-70 times
slower than my 64-bit, 2.3 GHz Core i7 Macbook Pro.
That still makes the emulation 4 to 5 times faster than the historic
KDF9 hardware.

Will you be doing a writeup for MagPi about this? If not, you should.
Luke.
