Actually the main problem is due to the community growth with many newbies who need support. In order to increase the signal/noise ratio, perhaps a mailling list split should be done. Here's a proposal for a split : - general ( support , any post welcomed, of course many noise ) - beginners ( support for newbies ) - academic ( FP / algorithms / langage features discussions => something like the previous moderated list ) - industrial ( for people interested in developing the industrial usage of ocaml ) Of course such a splitting will only work if it comes with a real WILL and label from the official team, and proper advertising on the Caml website(s) - the "unofficial"aspect of the current beginners list is perhaps the reason why people use the general list.
