Yale University It was all my fault, I should have definitely put down the correct URL, my = apologies. =20 Yes I think branding is important, probably more so than what platform you'= re using. I would take that as the Ada 2012 logo just as it is, not necess= arily the logo for the Ada, just the 2012 subset. Dunno, maybe an updated rendition of lady Ada is just what is called for, s= omething that modernizes but keeps it old school. It's been discussed before but it would certainly be nice to have a repo, m= aybe something similar to CPAN or PyPi or Hackage. How about calling it Ad= a's Slip or something like that, could think of a backronym later. Good pr= esence on github couldn't hurt either.
