It appears (to me) that there is enough interest to revive the SIGAda Web Ada group, although perhaps with a slightly modified or expanded purpose. It's been suggested by several that the ACM SIGAda mailing list is a good basis for a discussion group perhaps later to become a chartered working group. I think this is a good compromise because some (like me) don't read comp.lang.ada regularly and others don't like commercial groups such as Yahoo Groups. I propose that the Web Ada mailing list be revived to discuss the purpose of such a group and whether there is enough interest to begin a working group. Currie Colket has suggested that ACM would prefer a name of the form SIGAda-Web rather than web_ada and I'm happy to go along with that. However, the scope of this group may be broader than just the Web. So, the purpose of my email here is to solicit the opinion of those who would be interested in joining such a group to suggest names for the mailing list, and perhaps ultimately a working group. Ideas? 1) SIGAda-Web 2) SIGAda-Internet 3) SIGAda-Net 4) SIGAda-other? Thanks for your input. --Terry Westley, twestley@acm.org
