I noticed some errors in an article on the site, and tried to contact the webmaster there but could find no contact information. So I tried creating an account to post a comment -- but all I got from that was an "timeout" from an unresponsive site. So hopefully the webmaster stops by here once in a while. Randy. The commen on the articlet: AdaIC: Jan Ichbiah news page (1) His name is "Jean Ichbiah", not "Jan"! (2) The link you were looking for was his death announcement -- from 2007! It's hardly news anymore. Even so, you can still find it in the archives at: http://archive.adaic.com/news/pressrelease/ichbiah.html. (3) When the AdaIC site was redesigned, a lot of links were dropped, including this one. It's the price of progress. (4) You can always find anything still available by using the Ada-wide search engine (be sure to check the AdaIC archives if you are looking for old articles): http://www.adaic.org/ada-resources/ada-on-the-web/ (And you should have told someone about your site so that it is linked from AdaIC and in this search index.) (5) There are no articles about "people" on the new AdaIC. Perhaps that's a fault, perhaps not; I know that the article on Ada Lovelace on the old AdaIC site got more complaints about inaccuracy than praise. In any case, if you want to see something on AdaIC, send a message to webmaster@adaic.com and ask. Complaining about something on a blog page somewhere that no one has ever heard of is not a good way to get something fixed. Randy Brukardt, former AdaIC webmaster
