Seriously, though, one of the things I most appreciate about OCaml is the fact that it has an excellent-quality implementation on Win32 and that the developers do not treat Win32 as a "second-class citizen" as far as release schedules, prominence in the documentation, and so forth. If the main list is to include OS-specific discussions at all, I would hope that Win32 discussions would be encouraged as much as any other OS. Creating a separate, additional list for those discussions would only create confusion and splinter the community, as far as I can tell. Is anybody concerned that Win32-specific discussions are occupying too much bandwidth on the list? I've never noticed this to be the case (though I suppose I may have a biased perspective here). As long as the volume of messages on the subject remains manageable, I think it's a bit silly to worry that non-Win32 subscribers will be annoyed by the content of those messages. Uninterested, perhaps, but we hardly need a separate list for each topic that some users might be uninterested in. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gurr, David (MED, self)" To: "Christophe Raffalli" Cc: Sent: Thursday, December 19, 2002 3:09 PM Subject: ocaml w32 list? RE: [Caml-list] lablGL + cygwin Would anyone else be interested in a ocaml on w32 (cygwin,mingw,win2k,....) mail list. As some who does not care for w32, I would not like to clutter this mail list with the unpleasant details of w32. Would it be worth having a ocaml-w32 list where I and others can share the misfortunes/mysteries of running ocaml on various versions of w32 without anoying the rest of the world? -David Gurr ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners
