Thanks for the input.

If informal group is the option that is chosen, then I'll need at least
a few other people to add as contacts. If others want to be part of
that list, please drop me an e-mail or a message on IRC.

By the way, is there an "ocaml" trademark? I remember from years ago
that this was mentioned when discussing groups on freenode.

PS: I was told over IRC that I used "dash" everywhere in my email but I
meant "hash", the '#' character.
