It may be interesting to try and make use of the shared source CLI (aka
Rotor) to provide Ada support on .Net (by porting Gnat, for example). I am
not going to try to analyze the licensing issues here, but be sure to check
them out before you _look_ at the shared source as there are different
opinions on what the license actually means.
Anyway, if you are interested in atacking this project, you may be able to
make use of the Microsoft grants:

I am not up to date on this but I think there are some interesting open
issues that may be interesting from a researhc point of view. I am thinking
mainly about support for generics.
