I'm looking forward to hearing more about the results from yesterday's meeting (are there minutes?). In any case, the OSR seems like a very reasonable process. I'll start with one thorn: the Unicode situation. Everyone plus their mother defines some custom Unicode module. ExtLib has one, Camomile has obviously a few, Ocamlnet has its own thing, etc, etc. It would make sense to have instead a fairly simple "Unicode" package that defined the basic data type, and then have all these libs use that one. I bet this was discussed yesterday -- what was the conclusion? Cheers, Dario Teixeira __________________________________________________________ Sent from Yahoo!
