I'd be more than willing to contribute code & > work to such an effort. I also think that it is a sensible strategy of INRIA to keep the interfaces of their libraries uncluttered. An "experimental" repository for libraries, where people can work out possible additions cooperatively, would be a very appealing project. I would also be prepared to volunteer in such an effort. Xavier once posted the following mail: http://pauillac.inria.fr/caml/caml-list/1087.html Is it still possible to get CVS-accounts at INRIA? It would also be possible to use "http://sourceforge.net", but I have no experience in setting up projects there nor whether there might be any objections to doing such a project on a host outside the control of INRIA - maybe John Skaller, who uses it for his Python-compiler, can tell us more about it?
