The Ada world as a whole often looks like it is crumbling... There was a message posted on comp.lang.ada asking about what was new at the SigAda conference. If no one answers this kind of post it doesn't help to boost interest in SigAda, the conference or the ultimately the language. Also, Does any one know how to contact Magnus Kempe. He usually ignores my e-mail offers to purchase the AdaHome domain for a while and then sends a polite, No.. but my latest e-mail attempts have not been success in reaching him at all.
