I believe that Marcelo Cora�a de Freitas is still maintaining APQ. I
passed the reins over him some time ago and he has since moved his 
support to the following site AFAIK:

http://framework.kow.com.br/projects/show/apq

The original (now unmaintained) site was/is here:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/apq

I just ran out of time to keep it up myself. In fact, <cough>,
I even gave up on Ada for a few years.. but I'm back now. ;-)
