Good idea.

I'd rather use Savannah than SF for anything.  SF keep changing their 
T&C's and I've lost track of what's what on there.

I would be willing to submit some of my work provided I got the ability 
to work on it and extend it.  I would even be willing to hand over my 
copyright, again providing I got the ability to play with it (also some 
credit) and it was some kind of group.

I will be working in C and Java at Uni (oh, and Hydra), so Ada related 
work will fall quite considerably.  It'd be good if someone else could 
contribute as the code is likely to be in the "junkyard" for a while.

Right now I'm working on a simple raster based graphics lib (no 
convolutions/filtering, just the ability to manipulate single/groups of 
pixels), and am almost ready to load and save bitmaps.  After that I'm 
going to finish libpng and add support for that.
