Re: Ada '88 Proposals

[stt@inmet.UUCP]

I have received several inquiries since posting this note about
Ada '88 language change proposals, asking, roughly,
"What is the Ada Language Issues Working Group?"
I learned of their existence from reading the July/August
Ada Letters, where they have their minutes from their
12 January 1987 meeting.  Their next meeting
will be at the August SigAda meeting in Seattle.
Quoting from the minutes: "To place a recommended
Ada feature on the agenda, contact one of us at the addresses below.

ALIWG Chair:                                ALIWG Secrectary:
  David A. Smith                              William Currie Colket
  Hughes Aircraft Company MS360               Code 1013
  8000 E. Maplewood Ave.                      Naval Air Development Center
  Englewood, CO  80111                        Warminster, PA  18974
  (303) 793-5226                              (215) 441-2149
  DASMITH@ADA20.ISI.EDU                       COLKET@NADC

In the minutes, they indicate that the ALIWG charter is to "provide
a forum for discussion and review of the Ada language definition . . .
Changes supported by the group will be submitted to the AJPO . . ."
