I'm pretty sure you mean "core development team", not INRIA. INRIA is a large research institute, you know. And as I said, the "core development team" is not limited to members of INRIA. It may very well be the case that no one in this team care about ARM (honestly, I don't know), and if this is the case, I agree this should be fixed. > In an open model we would have maintainers for the ARM port(s). Yes, I argue for opening the current model a little, by enlarging the existing core team. Creating a new "core team" would create more frustration and problems than it would solve, in my opinion. We have enough fragmentation in this community. >> Instead, I'd suggest contacting the existing core team (caml@inria.fr) in order to find a solution. > > I wasn't aware that there is a separate communication channel for the core team. I was under the impression that the caml-list was the best way to reach both the core team and the community. I confirm that the best way to contact the core team is caml@inria.fr (see http://caml.inria.fr/contact.en.html). Alain
