[1] I went digging to try and gather some more information about this, but the google has failed me. Does anybody have any information on such a project? Did it ever get off the ground? If so, is it still _going_, or at the very least, are there some sources floating around somewhere? Such a repository of bindings seems like it would be an incredible boon to the Ada community and the language's position in the free software world. I'd contribute to it. Something to think about, anyway. -- deadlyhead [1] "GNU" and Ada
