Ah, yes, the imfamous "Ada is dead site". (It doesn't say that anymore, but it once did.) That site was created by someone how posted all kinds of misinformation; people seem to believe it because they registered the old AJPO domain name. Of course, anyone can post anything on the net, and it can be hard to tell what's accurate and what isn't. > I'd also note that the relationship between the ACAA and the ISO seems > to be rather one-sided -- while you emphasize your relationship with > the ISO rather heavily on your web site, the ISO seems to mention you > rather a bit less -- a search for "ACAA" on the ISO web site more or > less implies that they've never even heard of you. Since the ACAA is defined in an ISO standard (specifically ISO/IEC 18009), and ISO makes money by *selling* their standards, you're hardly going to find anything there. I don't think you can find much about Ada there, either. The ACAA I run is an instantiation of that described by that standard. You might be able to find out more on the WG9 web site (WG9 is the Ada Working Group within ISO/IEC JTC1 SC22), but it is pretty sparse: http://www.open-std.org/JTC1/SC22/WG9/ Randy.
