[alex@MIMSY.CS.UMD.EDU (Alex Blakemore)]

% make comp.lang.ada obsolete and create a small set of groups instead.
%   some suggestions
%     comp.lang.advocacy   - for the flame wars
%     comp.lang.programmer - for discussions of design/development Ada language
 issues
%                            (or comp.lang.technical or better name?)
%     comp.lang.announce   - moderated, low volume important announcements
%                            of meetings, products, standards, new mandates :) 
etc
%     comp.lang.misc       - catch all

so the names would be comp.lang.ada.advocacy etc

Is anyone familiar with the call for votes process?
