This is an issue with http://cjn.sourceforge.net/ that
savannah use, not directly savannah.

BTW, I dont see clearly the reason why "developers actually
feel insulted when this mistake is made in their presence"
("whatever reason" is not significant to me). It seems
trendy to feel insulted. To me, people should feel insulted
only when someone really want to insult them. Being insulted
because of writing ADA instead of Ada ? Waouh !!

« I won't be adding it to my skill set until the problem is
fixed », I don't really think we're dealing with a serious «
problem » that require to threat each others but with a typo
error. IMHO, It's always better to get typo corrected but
this is no way an acceptable reason to get angry.

As I previously said, you should write to the source of the
"problem", http://cjn.sourceforge.net/

I can't add the skill "Ada" to my skills list, because
it isn't on the list. There is an "ADA", but that is
not it. 

If by "ADA" you meant the programming language "Ada",
then it is miscapitalized. The language was named after
a person, and is not an acronym. This is just as wrong
as calling Java "JAVA". It needs to be fixed everywhere
it appears.

This may seem like a trivial typo issue, but to Ada
developers it is a big deal. For whatever reason, many
Ada developers actually feel insulted when this mistake
is made in their presence. Personally, I won't be
adding it to my skill set until the problem is fixed.
