Re: Ada job-hunting sites

["Frenk" <francesco.devittori[AT]epfl.ch>]

Why not creating a site with a Ada-jobs "forum"? In fact i couldn't find
anything like that on the web.
It's very sad that a beautiful language like Ada is so hidden on the
internet. It would be cool!
If anyone agrees with me we could do anything on my server (www.frenk.com,
btw is my personal site, nothing commercial).
