Beginners should be able to learn from more advanced users at zero cost. Helping them is much easier when the posts arrive on one ML instead of two, they would also have an access to the announcements about new releases of the compiler and it's libraries. Bigger traffic is better in this case (obviously to some limit, but I doubt we would have this problem), it encourages people to join the discussions. If it's only a historical reason to have yahoo based group and separate advanced mailing list, then I admit I would like to see these two mailing list merged. I think it's important in the days where OCaml is getting more popular and having new people on the list is actually beneficial in long term for OCaml community. -- > Mehdi Dogguy مهدي الدڤي > http://dogguy.org/ > Cheers; Wojciech
