(And we could always use more!) It's low volume, but pretty high signal. The LinkedIn Ada group (http://www.linkedin.com/groups?home=&gid=114211) is also reasonably active with wide-ranging conversations. You simply have to be a LinkedIn member (basic membership is free) to participate. I'm not saying everything is hunky dory, we could always use more Ada advocacy (and taking down of moribund sites). Ada does, though, have presence amongst various social networks, though almost invariably it's an individual (or a small group of individuals) efforts to maintain that presence. StackOverflow (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/ada) too! Marc A. Criley Ada sub-reddit moderator
