I don't understand the purpose of creating a list of
"projects to implement in Ada".  The list to which
you point is a list of software products, and many
of them could be done in Ada.

Having all the Ada fans go off and work in a separate
space is a bad idea because it reduces the chance to
expose others to Ada.
