I have to say I still believe a *subgroup* of the LEGO Fan group on
Linkedin would be the best option. You would have the advantage of
having a dedicated group which is also visible to other LEGO users
around the globe, thus providing more visibility to the Ada language,
to the GNAT-on-MINDSTORMS project and to your discussions. We would
not have these advantages if the discussion takes place on c.l.a or
IRC.

I would be happy to start the discussion to create the new subgroup on
linkedin.
