Influence in the Consortium could be proportional to this group's total contribution. Government of this group could be by annual election of a benign dictator or small committee (no doubt there are other possible means). My guess is that many people on this mailing list would be happy to part with a modest amount of money in order to help out - admittedly in a small way - with Ocaml development.

Actually, I'd consider three levels: add a level for individuals. The contribution should be enough to cover administrative overheads, the main communal benefit would be the existence of a 'registry' of serious Caml users. Such a list would help us to know each other, and also help to convince management that there really is more than one Caml programmer in the world :-) -- John (Max) Skaller, mailto:skaller@maxtal.com.au 10/1 Toxteth Rd Glebe NSW 2037 Australia voice: 61-2-9660-0850 checkout Vyper http://Vyper.sourceforge.net download Interscript http://Interscript.sourceforge.net
