So here is my problem, from time to time I found interesting OCaml projects on github. But some are really hard to find. Let me take some simple examples, using google search and small projects: project URL, description, google request -> n° page where the first entry is * http://github.com/polazarus/oclock, Access to POSIX clock_gettime, "ocaml clock" -> 7+ * http://github.com/thelema/tornadocaml, xor-based FEC, "ocaml tornado" -> 7+ This is not the case for everything, (e.g. ocaml-appengine, ocaml-orm-sqlite, ocaml-redis et al are ranked 1st page). Even if these projects are small, it would be great that they did a single release and to be referenced on the Hump, for example. N.B. modifying google request can improve ranking e.g. "ocaml xor fec" or "ocaml fec". Regards, Sylvain Le Gall p.s.: if someone can volunteer to create a small application that automatically fetch new projects/news from project on github/google code/whatever, I will be happy to add it to planet.ocamlcore.org.
