We'd need a central place where all reusable libraries, maybe that could be a good addition to Ada World (The Ada Oracle) perhaps for a name :-) or simply the Ada Library and I could host them all, without a problem. :-). I'd like some input on this from people. See for instance, 1. what could be part of it? do we limit ourselves to platform independant reusable libraries? 2. Do we include such things as AdaCL and such data structure based libraries? 3. Do we go OS specific in different fields. For example. A binding to PDCurses, one for conio to allow for specific functionalities available on each OS/Platform? And others too, what would you guys put in The Ada Library ? And why...see if we can filter out a list that could please everyone. Awaiting comments, ideas and suggestions :-) -- St�phane Richard "Ada World" Webmaster http://www.adaworld.com
