Ivan,

Ada Letters would welcome additional volunteers to assist in
maintaining the software reuse section.  Please send your suggetions
directly to Trudy.  Her e-mail address is given at the beginning of
her reuse column.

I agree with the need to delete the reference to Ada Home.  Other
comp.lang.ada readers have posted reasons to maintain the other
components you feel should be dropped.

I don't understand your reasoning for "SIGAda conferences ... a bad
service for Ada".  What would you like to change?  The call for
participation for SIGAda 2009 is now available on the SIGAda web
site.  Perhaps you could submit something to help move things in the
direction you desire.

John
