Who said there are no experienced users in academia? That's what I meant!
I realize the intent was benign, but it amounted to the same old myopia.
Is there a single U/I team user that's NOT a major DoD contractor? Doubtful.

Oh, I know. But that's just reading documents.
Actually, I think it would be neat if you posted a list of the VR's!
Maybe it would give us encouragement if we saw our friends' names there!
(I'm NOT one. I'd rather just kibitz :-))

mfeldman@seas.gwu.edu (Michael Feldman) has offered us a position paper
on Ada in education, for presentation ad WAdaS.
An excellent position paper!
Two points:
1. Participation in the U/I process was by competitive procurement. As
I remember, bidders were to be teams with a compiler vendor and an
experienced Ada user. Although the intent was benign enough, I
agree that the effect was to rule out academic participation.
2. Academics, as well as all others, are welcome to participate in the
Volunteer Reviewer Program. Indeed, there are quite a few academic
participants, both in this country and overseas.
