At RMIT, we have a local newsgroup devoted entirely to Ada discussions,
as well as newsgroups for each subject. These tend to capture 99% of all
Ada questions before they get out of the door (We have over 300 students
studying programming and SE using Ada, and you don't see too many posts
from rmit students on c.l.a.).

I think that local newsgroups are a much better way to handle these sort
of students requests, as the volume is a lot lower than c.l.a., and the
answers are knowingly pitched at the appropriate level for other students
to pick up on.
