  • New Ada Forge: catalog of (almost) all Ada open source code & tools

    From william@21:1/5 to All on Sat Feb 12 19:47:36 2022
    Hello Ada lovers !

    I’ve the pleasure to announce a ground-up update of AdaForge.org https://www.adaforge.org

    The purpose of this site is to bring to the Ada developer a catalog of
    (almost) all Ada open source code and tools existing in different
    public repositories.

    This catalog is structured according to a software developer
    perspective (taxonomy).

    Note : AdaForge.org references 100% of the ALIRE ‘crates’ packaging repo. :-)

    I’m exited to hear some feedback from you,
    Kind regards,
    William

    Good effort. Thanks. But maybe a general search box would add utility.

    I didn't find PLplot. http://plplot.sourceforge.net/

    Everything's huge! The main "logo" take up half my 4k screen!

    The energy rating thing is taller than my browser window, is it even
    required?

    Hi William,

    That's impressive.
    Is the website automatically generated from the Alire manifests?

    I find it difficult to understand what is the purpose/goal of the website.
    It seems to be a map of Ada/SPARK projects available in Alire.
    But the name "forge" makes me think of "sourceforge", i.e. hosting repositories.

    Probably a matter of taste, but I also don't find the design very readable.

    Cheers,

    Yes, the project info from the TOML files,
    But the final ‘catorization’ is made by drag/drop with the mind mapping app.

    All the rest is automated by import/export via the different editing apps.




    I find it difficult to understand what is the purpose/goal of the website.

    To present to a (rather new) Adadeveloper what’s available (ecosystem)



    But the name "forge" makes me think of "sourceforge", i.e. hosting repositories.


    Maybe better hosting it on the Ada.dev umbrella ?
    Who is the owner of Ada.dev ? Whois mentioned AdaCore


    Probably a matter of taste, but I also don't find the design very readable.


    Ahhhh, maybe a ZOOM brainstorming one of these coming days ?

    Who wants to participate ?
    16:00 - 16:45 UTC/GMT
    Open from 15 till 23 February

    Here is a Doodle calendar to record participants https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/NbW8XYxd


    Thanks for your feedback,
    William

    I have no idea how I would find anything I would look for with this. Where would
    I look to find something like https://github.com/jrcarter/PragmARC? https://github.com/jrcarter/Ada_GUI? These are not frameworks, services, engines, ... There doesn't seem to be any place for them under libs, which I presume is short for libraries, which is where I would look for them.
