A recommendation on which testing module to use? 2) Is there something like 'ri' in ocaml? (commandline access to basic documentation) 3) Is there consensus on the best/fastest xml parser? 4) What kind of YAML support is there? I've seen an ad-hoc writeup to read in JSON in an ocaml program, but I'm much more familiar with YAML. Where is the message archive located? Is it searchable? Can someone point me to the best resource(s) for newbies? I have been reading through what's out there, but its always nice to get a recommendation.
