It's more like | an alternative place to host projects which isn't Savannah (because of | its well-publicised failures) or Sourceforge (depends on a company | which may well go out of business). | | Of course, a CPAN-like repository could also happen, but I guess it | would have to be part of GODI now, with a way to upload source code as | well. I think this is a really nice initiative. IMHO what the ocaml community needs is a central place to share documentation and tools for ocaml programming. A GForge/Savanne infrastruture is a good start but one would additionally need a central website/wiki to help users/developers to contribute documentation, tutorials, and so on. This wiki could host an OCaml Programming Cookbook for instance. Another important feature request is the possibility to organise SIGs (Special Interest Groups) on topics such as crossplatform development, build systems, networking, XML, databases, Internationalization (UTF-8), web and webservices, GUI, mathematics and logics ... This would help the OCaml community to struture itself into hierarchicaly specialised sub-communities with their own mailing-list and wiki. Hopefully it would enable constructive interactions between developers working on the same area. A good example of SIGs management is the Python website : http://python.org/sigs/ . On a more practical viewpoint: have you heard about Trac (http://www.edgewall.com/products/trac/ )? Trac is a collaborative development plateform based on python, subversion (arch and CVS support is planned) and sqlite. It features an enhanced wiki integrated with bug/issue tracker and version control system. The screenshots page gives a nice overview: http://www.edgewall.com/products/trac/screenshots.html The Trac development itself uses this platform: http://projects.edgewall.com/trac/wiki/ Best, - -- Olivier -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFAm5WCTsBRE+WZ2SARApC1AJ0YUGiXSY7NMZlc46rZYBVn0jMoDQCeMyUE l3RvdmZ5igOUu69xoHDj0VE= =M9GI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------- 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
