They do work well if someone's maintaining it, but if that's the case, why not just push these tips and guides to the existing ocaml.org site? I'm happy to run a wiki on the OCL infrastructure, but would strongly prefer contributions to the ocaml.org Git repo with all this good stuff instead! If it really turns out we need a swanky wiki, that can be arranged later... -anil On 20 Dec 2012, at 23:15, Wojciech Meyer wrote: > Hi, > > These days ocaml.org is a great resource and starting point for the > community and people interested in learning OCaml.
