Right! I really do not know how it is managed, by whom, frequency etc. But it is indeed a useful source. Somehow, when I looked for things the altavista/adahome/adapower approach worked better for me. I never felt comfortable with the indexing/classifiaction etc. But maybe it is because there were more compilers out there for Ada83, where as now it seems all public code is direclty compilabe on GNAT... |It is not versus "home page" archives that are *much* simpler in the short |term to manage.

But still searching for "whatever +Ada" doesn't always bring you the things your are looking for. It gives you papers and pages with links etc etc. A better search interface would allow you to say "code to download" and will only bring Ada code. But perhaps I am dreeming. Look at HIPPIAS (http://hippias.evansville.edu/) for something like that for philosophy.
