gnat make
I think that the two word "gnat make" is better suited for beginners. Partly because of the better help screen:

got additions by AlMac effectively doubling the size of the article since you last worked on it. I just thought you might like to see what I did to it. AlMac 23:52, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

Ada Quality and Style Guide
Hola otra vez, después de bastante tiempo algo alejado de "Wikibooks" tenía ganas de colaborar otra vez en el libro de Ada. Entre otras cosas, tenía una propuesta que haceros sobre la sección "Ada 95 Quality and Style Guide" (mejor escribe tu opinión en esa página de discusión). Si os gusta la idea a ti y a Martin estoy dispuesto a hacer yo mismo todos los cambios. Un saludo --surueña 09:28, July 24, 2005 (UTC)

Wikibooks Newsletter, Volume 1
(Wikibooks gazette home | Discuss | Bulletin board | Subscription list)

This is a short newsletter that is being distributed to all active wikibookians. You are getting this message because you are recognized as an established contributor to the project. This newsletter will be distributed on a regular basis to help share news, information, and tips. It comes from a bot account, User:The Staff. User:The Staff is currently operated by a team of wikibooks admins, the complete list of which is available on the user page of the bot. If you would like to not receive this newletter anymore, please remove your name from the list at Active wikibookians.

The work you do at Wikibooks is greatly appreciated. However there are plenty of other opportunities for you to get involved and help us to create a thriving Wikibooks community. We are sure that there are things we can do to help you and your understanding of Wikibooks and similarly there are certainly things you could do to help Wikibooks become a better place.

We would like to ask all wikibookians to add the Bulletin Board to your watchlists. The Bulletin Board is a fast and easy way for wikibookians to communicate important news and events to the entire community. If you have important news to share with the community, you can feel free to add your own entry to that page.

If you have general questions or comments about Wikibooks, you are welcome to post a message on The Staff Lounge, a free discussion area. Your input would also be welcomed in the Votes for Deletion and Requests for Adminship discussion pages. These pages are all active discussion areas that help to shape the Wikibooks community as a whole.

Sometimes it is easy to forget that the Wikibooks community is much larger and more diverse then the people who work in a single book, or on a single bookshelf. Hopefully, together we can all make Wikibooks a better place, and a more valuable educational resource.

Inclusion != transcusion
Transclusions between Wikibooks aren't helpful, they break several subsystem, including book renames, even deletion, categories and ultimately make edits problematic (edits can break one of the books sharing the same content by using transclusion), you should copy the content and give attribution to the original book if the size of used content is relevant, Wikibooks should be self containing... --Panic (talk) 00:07, 19 December 2008 (UTC) I've made a generalazation of this post in Reading_room/General, if you disagree please share your rational there, txs. --Panic (talk) 00:15, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

A new proposal
Hi, there is currently a proposal at Wikibooks:Reading room/Proposals for non-admins to be given the ability of    and. Since you’ve been an active user on Wikibooks for the last thirty day, I thought you might join in by giving feedback/opinion or amendments.

Ada Programming/Libraries/Ada.Storage_IO
Hi Manuel,

where do the copyright notes on this page come from? In the RM legal information (file:///C:/Users/Grein/Documents/Christoph/Language%20Manuals/Ada/Ada%202012/TC1_2016/RM-TTL.html), there are a lot of copyright notes, but they do not match with the ones given on this page. Expecially: Can some Maxim Reznik add a copyright notice on a specification which he does not own? I'm not a lawyer, but am wondering.

I did not check whether there are similar notes on other copies of RM specs.

It does look like there is something terribly wrong.

 * Hi @CKWG - Ada Magica,
 * I got the specifications for the pages for the Ada library up to version 2005 from https://github.com/reznikmm/adalib because it was easier, in principle, to obtain them from there instead of from the RM. That specifications have some modifications in the private part to make them valid Ada, but not all of them are. For Ada 2012, which were not in that repository initially, I finally got them directly copying the RM, and they don't have Reznik's copyright notice. I'd prefer them to not have any notice at all, but since I'm not a lawyer either, I didn't dare to remove them at that time. If you want to do it now, I won't complain.

 * I guess best would be a reference in the header to the title page of the RM. There the relevant copyright notices can be found.
 * http://ada-auth.org/standards/rm12_w_tc1/html/RM-TTL.html
 * I've changed this page accordingly. Hope this solves the issue. CKWG - Ada Magica (discuss • contribs) 10:34, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
 * OK. That's a convincing solution. &mdash; ManuelGR (discuss • contribs) 12:19, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
 * By the way, if we are going to change all the specifications, I think we should make a new template for the header, in order to have a single place where we can update at once that notice. &mdash; ManuelGR (discuss • contribs) 10:46, 16 October 2022 (UTC)
