In respect for Richard Riehle (author of the book Ada Distilled) and Sera Hirasuna, founders of AdaWorks Software Engineering, as of 2009-08-18 the AdaWorks project has been renamed to KOW Framework and can now be found at http://framework.kow.com.br
When we first started the project we had no idea someone has used this name before. Adaworks.com was already a lost domain and adaworks.org was the home for the Ada Jobs Foundation website. As the name is pretty catchy, we started using it and wrote several thousands of lines of code. It was only in 2008-08-12 (a little more than 1 year ago), after a message I sent to comp.lang.ada newsgroup I received notice about this sad coincidence.
After that we started looking for a new name and at the begining of the year we found one (thanks to a decision in my life). KOW is the registered name for my own company. A software development company located at the town of São Paulo in Brazil. I resigned from my CIO position in another small software development company in order to devote more time to the framework and other Open Source projects (such as AuroraUX). Since then we started renaming all packages and decided to go further in our changes moving our repositories from subversion to git and our project management system from trac to redmine
Sorry for the inconvenience Richard and Sera. I hope all the work we've been through is received as a sign of respect to you and the Ada community. And I sure hope you try our code! :)
