I can only encourage all you skilled Ada people to help build an even 
larger collection of Ada examples on rosettacode.org. It's a great idea, 
and I'm certain it could help further Ada. Every little bit helps! Oh, 
and it's also an awesome resource for a beginning Ada programmer. 
Sometimes cookbook examples are so much easier to understand than books. 
  :o)

I've contacted the national danish Ada group to hear how I can help 
sup****t Ada.

Sadly the danish Ada group website is currently dead (perhaps there's 
something a webmonkey like me can help with!), but hopefully the email 
registered at ada-europe.org is valid. Time will tell.

Thanks a lot for the link Ludovic.
