There is Ada code that generates the actual RM in various formats from a Scheme-like markup language. I added a package that outputs TeXInfo source. It wasn't hard; a few weekend's work. There is already a module that outputs HTML. I assume Wiki format is based on HTML. So yes, it would be quite feasible to write an Ada package for the RM generator that outputs an initial Wiki. I'm not interested in actually doing that, but I'd be glad to help someone get started. It would be best to wait until the Ada 2006 RM is released; then we'll have a stable Scheme and Ada code base to work from. That should be later this year or early next year. However, if someone is inspired now, I can give you the Ada 95 RM sources. -- -- Stephe
