proposition to create a core-caml-list

[Colonna Francois]

Hello,

Would it be possible to open another mailing list only devoted to the
``Core Caml`` aspects of OCaml ? 

Being restricted to purely functional programming  topics (functions,
data types, modules, etc), this list would be lighter and reading it
would hopefully be much less time consuming.

I suggest to name it "core-caml-list".

Best,

François Colonna

I can't support this proposal, mainly because I think such a fine-grained 
topic-based partition of the list is unlikely to be widely understood or 
observed.

As a solution to the volume problem, I've found it convenient to follow this 
list via the Gmane RSS feed (http://rss.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.caml.inria). 
Tabbing through posts in a feed reader is much less hassle then deleting emails 
from your inbox.
