But maybe there is a way out. See $ whois ocaml.org Domain ID:D27630749-LROR Domain Name:OCAML.ORG Created On:23-May-2000 01:50:28 UTC Last Updated On:28-Oct-2003 19:34:16 UTC Expiration Date:23-May-2004 01:50:28 UTC [...] The domain will be available in a little more than one month (if Mr J Assange really lost interest, he will not renew it). Maybe one should consider buying it, or rather -- to avoid the same thing to happen again -- it may be better that INRIA buys it and gives it back to the community (some people were ready to give machines and maintenance time as I understood it). I think it would be great to take opportunity of such a site to also build a central repository -- if possible connected to development tools like those found on Savanah (http://savannah.gnu.org/). ChriS P.S. Maybe someone in AU should consider trying to join Mr J Assange on the phone (+61.398188888)? ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners
