Sure, thats correct. But, in fact, your software is not well know to a broad 
public, isn't it? Thats the problem. To make ada more popular, we would need 
more software that is known to the people (like the DB mentioned by George).

No, not really. BTW, as far as I see, your projects are all GNAT related, 
this will not make it interessting for people *outside* the Ada-community.
