Re: Public Ada Library (PAL) FAQ

[Gregory Aharonian]

    Rick's FAQ, which I find quite excellent, is the kind of marketing and
evangelizing that makes an idea (in this case Ada reuse) successful.
His marketing and evangelizing, a mostly voluntary undertaking, just goes
to reinforce how little return the country is getting from the DoD reuse
centers at ASSET/VCOE/DSRO.  Their funding sould be halted, and if spent,
have it spent by Rick.  Why the STARS program tolerates the waste going on
at ASSET is beyond understanding.  They post nothing to the Internet,
their collections reflection no interest in active solicitation of reusble
software, they make no use of information distribution technology like
CD-ROMs, their customer support features (800 numbers) are extravagant
lavious ways to spend tax dollars, etc.

    Shut them down, and give them money to Rick.
