I think that opam fills a major need of OCaml users:
even if it is still young, needs polishing and will
surely evolve quickly, it already provides a very
valuable tool.
But tools are useless without a user community, and
users need a place to discuss, exchange ideas, ask
for help, share tips and tricks, without fear of
asking silly questions.
Hundreds of successful free software projects use a
-devel mailing list for developer discussions, and a
-users mailing list for user exchanges.
So I strongly believe we need an opam-users list
too (and I actually do not care where the list is
hosted, as far as the hosting service is solid, and
archives are searchable and backed up).
