I've currently got three questions about it though: 1. How is delivery of our "community ocaml" going to work? 2. Sadly I couldn't make the Paris meet, are there going to be followup meetings? 3. How do we decide on a consensus for an OSR proposal? Personally, I think the answers to these questions are linked. A system that I would like to see is something like: a community release every six months, meetings a couple of months before release, final decisions made about which suggestions make the release decided in the meeting. I think it would be better to decide in a face-to-face setting which proposals are best, as a mailing list just leads to endless forking of conversation and drift from original topics. Regards, Peter.
