Someone suggested a while ago to split comp.lang.ada into several subgroups.
As a half-hobby programmer and as a newbie to Ada I want to raise the
question once again.

Why not start subgroups like comp.lang.ada.int_lang to deal with questions
about interfacing to other languages? Or: comp.lang.ada.com to deal with
AdaCom questions? Or: comp.lang.ada.newbie? comp.lang.ada.os?

A newbie like me could then start on a low level group (.newbie) and then
advance to higher knowledge (.lang_adv) later on. Or I could choose a
special group (.access) when I want to look at a special area.

Has comp.lang.ada reached a level with dotsomethings at the end?
