Nice idea, but how do you handle dependencies, and configuration. Notice also that many OSs/distribution have their own notion of package, which they may prefer over a monolythic build. Moving everything to findlib might be a good idea. > If you are interested in contributing to this project, you can either > send me your code, or an URL where we can download your contribution. Of course I'm interested. Get anything you like from http://wwwfun.kurims.kyoto-u.ac.jp/soft/olabl/ocaml.html Do you need to have all the code in your own CVS, or can we use a more distributed approach ? > The package includes a simple tool to generate HTML from .mli files. > Thus, contributions must provide .mli files for all interesting > modules, and these .mli files must be correctly documented. OK, the format used seems to differ a bit from the main ocaml distribution, but this should be doable. By the way, are labels a sufficient documentation for most functions ?
