[Ocaml-lib-devel] Next Step

[Nicolas C. <war...@fr...>]

Hi people !

Right now, SF downloads are showing that there is (only) around 60 peoples
that downloaded the ExtLib (no counts on how many are actually using it :-).
That's not big, because it's a challenge here : everybody agree that ExtLib
is a good thing and that they should eventualy switch to it but since
everybody is already using their own libraries, the switching cost can
sometimes be quite high . To encourage people to use ExtLib, I thing the
best way is to increase the added-value (from an user point of view) that
ExtLib is providing. We need more code and several releases to bring
people's attention on it.

Any proposals for new features are welcome.
IMHO, it would be useful to add support for Xml ( XmlLight :
http://tech.motion-twin.com ) into the ExtLib.

Other thing : a Debian ExtLib package will be available soon.
