I agree it would be really interesting to have a discussion about it here.

OTOH, in making up my project list, I've received a lot of private tips 
from people who didn't mind having it known that project XYZ was using 
Ada, but who didn't want to be identified as the one who publicized it.

Bureaucracies are funny that way -- people often have to get permission 
to speak or write publicly. So instead of going through the hassle, they 
"leak" it to me, and I put it in the list without their fingerprints on 
it. You'd be surprised at the number of items in that list that came to 
me in this manner.

Sheesh, I feel like a *&^% investigative journalist. I'm just a retired 
CS professor but sometimes I feel like Bob Woodward. (I wish I got paid 
like he does...) As it says in the web page, I respect the 
confidentiality of my sources.

It's getting near the end of May, and I'm getting ready to put out a 
June edition, probably on June 2 or 3.

Anyone have anything to add this week?
