Out of curiosity: is CSML specific to Windows or not? The available info are ambiguous about that: your announcement does not say anything about that, while the web page starts mentioning "the community of OCaml developers under Windows". Can in principle CSML be used on GNU/Linux, for example on top of Mono? (I guess at the very least a release of a different binary-only compiler will be needed, but still ...) Also, please note that the README linked from the website has an important ambiguity in the licensing terms. It reads: "The compiler can be freely used but it cannot be not redistributed without the express permission of LexiFi SAS." (note the double negation); you probably want to fix it.
