learn VS melpa

I actually created this library with a budgeting app in mind! In my case, compliant with Ledger rather than Beancount.

It's easier than ever to get into Ada these days. There's a bunch of tutorials on Adacore's website [1] with a playground/sandbox that you can mess with. With Alire[2] (which is to Ada what Cargo is to Rust), you can get the toolchain and any packages with a simple command. If you're on linux or mac, you can also use GetAda[3] that will automatically install Alire for you.

Oh, I've never worked with Ada 95 I am sorry i can't help you further. Try this link then : https://github.com/AdaCore/learn

Could this be used (probably after the necessary conversion) as another frontend for the AdaCore/learn courses?

MELPA is definitely the biggest package archive, probably mostly on account of the lower barrier to entry compared to GNU ELPA (maybe the difference would have been less pronounced if NonGNU ELPA had been there from the beginning, but one can only speculate). MELPA has its own requirements for packages, but indeed copyright assignment to the FSF is not one of them.

I would suggest to start at reading the manual first. Then I would recommend reading the Melpa guidance, even if you do not plan to contribute your package to Melpa, since it contains very useful info about linting, writing your code etc.

The mxtoolbox link checks for SMTP blacklisting.. People won't be able to send mail from host with the IP address 178.128.185.1(which is the melpa.org webserver, not their mailserver, so everything's fine there).

Xah asked for his packages to be removed from MELPA a while back: https://github.com/melpa/melpa/issues/7755

Observe that package.el compile files when they are installed, and they are not compiled in any particular order (actually whatever directory-files returns, which is what OS returns). So if you have multiple files that depend on each other, it is something to think of. There are also some guidelines on how to structure your project on Melpa.
