Ada-Lang and it's (more active than CLA) forum

[Fernando Oleo / Irvise]

Hi all,

this is a simple and quick reminder (or announcement if its the first 
time you get notified) regarding Ada-Lang [1] and its Forum [2].

Ada-Lang is a community maintained and supported webpage whose intent is 
to give a nice "landing page" to anybody wanting to learn Ada and become 
a hub for all Ada users. It has a few nice links to social media and 
chat-rooms (at the bottom), a section to read C.L.A directly on your 
web-browser [3], a formatted version of the ARM [4], tutorial and 
examples (WIP) [5] and a few other nice features.

The Forum is quite active and it has a lot of topics. You can think 
about it as a modern web version of C.L.A :) Though, an account is 
required... And I do not mean to belittle C.L.A, it is a great resource!

Everybody is more than welcomed to participate in the forums and help 
the website grow in quality and content. Everything is open source, so 
it is very easy to help around!

I was adding this site to AdaIC's "Learn" pages (I think it disappeared some 
years ago, it is good to see it back), and noted that nowhere does it 
identify itself as "Ada-Lang" or any other short name on the site itself. It 
just calls itself "Ada Programming Language", which is a bit grandiose 
(there are a number of sites that can lay claim to part of that title, but 
surely none that can lay claim to all of it). Within the Ada Community in 
particular, it helps to identify the site more precisely. And I don't think 
that many people really look at the links that they click on, I doubt many 
people using AdaIC do, so just using the domain name and assuming people 
know what it is without any identification elsewhere is not ideal.

My two cents worth. (Humm, given prices these days, I don't think you can 
actually buy anything with two cents. That's probably one cliche that needs 
updating. ;-)
