The latest two ARG meeting minutes have said:

meeting 40:
>  Randy started to create a spreadsheet of the AIs, but he ran out of
> time to provide anything useful. We'll delay this discussion until the
> end of this meeting [but we didn't discuss it then - Editor].

meeting 39:
>  Bob isn't ready to discuss this, as he wasn't able to find time to
> draw  up a chart. We'll either do it at the end of this meeting [we
> didn't -  Editor] or next time.


Here's my attempt at such a spreadsheet, ignoring AIs that are ramifications,
confirmations, presentation issues, or "no action".

Thanks for working this out.

[Note: I got two versions of this at the same time; I posted the one labeled
"corrected" and deleted the other. Hope that was OK.]

This information we can get from the cross-reference list and the Amendment
tool. I wanted more than that (see below). There is one presentation AI
currently in the Amendment and one more which is still a work item. No
ramifications currently in the Amendment (none have wording changes, I think).


Here's the corresponding Ada 2005 numbers:

                       Corrigendum 1     Amendment 2005        Total
  Ramifications              2                 2                  4

  Amendment                  0                97                 97

                                                                275


But what I really wanted to know was two things:

How large are the changes proposed by these AIs? My spreadsheet includes
paragraphs inserted/deleted/modified for each AI, along with whether each has
new syntax or is only new/modified package, and estimates of implementation and
conceptual "size". New packages are "smaller" than new syntax, for instance.

What of the 4 areas of work from the WG 9 instructions are these AIs targeted
to? (Plus of course, "fixes": almost all of the BI s go there.) That is, is an
AI targeted to "containers", "contracts", "multi-core", "access types", or
"fixes"?

That's why this was taking so long; each AI had to be skimmed to extract that
information. I probably went too far, but I wanted to get enough information to
see if the feeling of a lot of large stuff was justified.
