Has all > the relevant requirements, I think it's an embarrassment. It's an unmaintained site that hasn't updated since 2002. It's actually worse than no site at all, because it contains links to dead projects (e.g. the Caml Development Kit and the OCaml IRC Server, which doesn't even exist anymore). As you point out, the news items haven't been updated since 2002, which strongly gives the impression that Caml is completely dead. Worst of all, it uses the word 'hacker', which to most managers means 'criminal that tries to attack my servers'. Whoever created this site would be doing the Caml community a great service by taking it off the web. The caml.inria.fr site is ugly, but at least it's correct and up to date.
