In discussions with the Editor of Dr. Dobbs a couple of years ago, he indicated
an interest in publishing articles related to Ada when those articles would be
of interest to the wider audience of Dr. Dobbs readers.    He has no interest in
publishing cheerleading articles about Ada,  comparisons between Ada and some
other language, or general information about the language.

If you have an idea for an article that 1) contains something newsworthy (such as

about GNAT or CLAW),  2) covers some unique application that just happens to use
Ada but has broader implications for the software development community (such as
the Boeing 777,  or air traffic control), 3) describes a solution to a problem
that is of
interest to both Ada and non-Ada programmers, then you should submit a proposal
for that
article to the Editor.

Be aware that the responsibility of the Editor is to the readership of the
journal.  Controversy
is usually welcome.   Technical credibility is essential.  Evangelism is
unpopular.   Be prepared
to be rejected it your article is a blatant attempt to proselytize.
