I'm listed as a developer on the SourceForge GNADE website http://gnade.sourceforge.net/, but I haven't done any work on it for 5 years. Other people have done some work. I'm getting back into it now. If you look at the CVS history, you'll see some recent changes. I'm always a little puzzled by questions like this. If GNADE is currently useful for you, then you should use it. If it has problems that you need fixed, ask about them here. If no-one responds, and you can't fix it yourself, then you can conclude that GNADE is not maintained. I guess it would be nice to have some notion of whether someone _would_ respond, so you can decide whether to invest time in GNADE or QtSQL or GNATCOLL.SQL. Then you just have to go by the reputation of the maintaining organization. SourceForge groups in general will be less reliable than successful companies, but there are always exceptions (the all-volunteer monotone support group is _way_ better than a certain commerical OS company I am forced to deal with). So I'm suggesting that a more useful question would be "has anyone had any recent experience with getting help with GNADE". That would give you better information about the current state of the project. -- -- Stephe
