Some Ada-related specifications are currently available at Wikisource,
namely the Steelman and Stoneman requirements:
http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Steelman_language_requirements
http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Stoneman_requirements
A discussion just started related with the copyright status of these
documents, if they are under the Public Domain or are copyrighted by
the (now defunct) Ada Joint Program Office:
http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Wikisource:Scriptorium#Ada_and_PD-US
Please, participate in the discussion at the above wiki page if you
can help to understand the licensing issue of these documents.
Thanks in advance
Santi

Thanks Santi.
I will also monitor this thread for any hints and tips.
If there are any additional Ada related documents which are
unambiguously public domain, or have been released under a 'free'
license, we can start adding those now, and create a 'portal'
dedicated to Ada.
Our definition of 'free' is described here:
http://freedomdefined.org
Once we have a body of free works about Ada, the Wikisource portal
_may_ contain links to non-free works about Ada. Wikisource does not
have clear guidance about linking to external (free or non-free)
documents. Our primary concern is we don't want to be a linkfarm to
spam or self-published rubbish, so guidance from the Ada community
about which documents should be included would be helpful.
Regards,
John Vandenberg

This looks interesting:
http://www.cendi.gov/publications/04-8copyright.html
especially sections 3 and 4.
I don't feel like figuring out how to add a comment in wikisource, but
if anyone else thinks this is worthwhile please feel free to mention
it.
