As is plain to see, the quality of the posting in this forum are at an all time low.

Is this forum even moderated?

I spend a lot of my time with the GnuCOBOL project and I love it. It's well moderated and very friendly. The language is also super easy to interface with Ada, much more so than C.

There are some super awesome people on this list but it's quickly becoming close to unuseable.

I don't think I can manage this right now but has anyone else thought of setting up a sourceforge project and using the mailing list features?

With GnuCOBNOL we were going to move at one point. sourceforge was doing weird things with peoples projects like bundling in junk. There seems to be new ownership and everything has been smooth for sometime.

I am sure there are many other options too like github etc.

Would it also make sense to copy over the FSF version and start some community development of it? There seems to be a fair amount of grumbling about Adacore these days.

Just a thought... I can't actually help out, I am spread way too thin right now.

Best of luck and special thanks to Dmitry, Ludovic, Jacob, Luke, Simon, Randy, J-P, Bjorn, Brian, Shark8, Mike, Tero and a dozen others for all the support over the years
