We're currently working on an open source middleware suite written (largely) in Ocaml. Part of our R&D effort has involved taking over maintenance of ocamldap, and adding significant features to it. We've also been working with GPS to add fast-cgi support to ocamlnet (working code is in cvs awaiting release). In the future we'd like to do a native Ocaml ldap protocal implementation for ocamldap. That means that we will probably end up implementing an ASN.1 compiler, and BER, DER, etc.. There is an ASN.1 compiler laying around that we might try to resurrect, but we'll still need to implement BER, etc.. A working ASN.1 environment would be great for Ocaml, as it would allow lots of really cool protocals (such as SNMP) to be implemented easily. We don't currently have a time frame for getting this done, and our metadirectory will probably take priority. Our directory managment daemon (written in ocaml) can be found at www-qa.csun.edu/opensource/rmwd (this site is in development, I'm literally scrambling to get it up :P. the final url may change. I'll be posting to the link database when its ready.) Info on our meta-directory will be going up soon, it is not currently written in Ocaml, but we're planning to do a rewrite in Ocaml fairly soon.
