Dear caml-list,

As some of you may have noticed, the new OCaml.org site is now live!

The DNS may still be propagating so if http://ocaml.org hasn't updated for you then try http://166.78.252.20. =A0T= his post is in two parts: the first is the announcement and the second is a= call for content.


### New OCaml.org website design!

The new site represents a major milestone in the continuing growth of the O= Caml ecosystem. It's the culmination of a lot of volunteer work over th= e last several months and I'd specifically like to thank Christophe, As= hish and Philippe for their dedication (the commit logs speak volumes).

We began this journey just over 8 months ago with paper, pencils and a lot = of ideas. This led to a comprehensive set of wireframes and walk-throughs o= f the site [1], which then developed into a collection of Photoshop mockups= [2]. =A0In turn, these formed the basis for the html templates and style s= heets, which we've adapted to fit our needs across the site.

Alongside the design process, we also considered the kind of structure and = workflow we aspired to, both as maintainers and contributors. =A0This led u= s to develop completely new tools for Markdown and templating in OCaml [3, = 4, 5], which are now available in OPAM for the benefit all. =A0Working on a= ll these things in parallel definitely had it challenges (which I'll wr= ite about separately) but the result has been worth the effort.

The journey is ongoing and we still have many more improvements we hope to = make. The site you see today primarily improves upon the design, structure = and workflows but in time, we also intend to incorporate more information o= n packages and documentation. With the new tooling, moving the website forw= ard will become much easier and I hope that more members of the community b= ecome involved in the generation and curation of content. =A0This brings me= to the second part of this post.


### Call for content

We have lots of great content on the website but there are parts that could= do with refreshing and gaps that could be filled. =A0As a community driven= site, we need ongoing contributions to ensure that the site best reflects = its members.

For example, if you do commercial work on OCaml then maybe you'd like t= o add yourself to the support page [6]? Perhaps there are tutorials you can= help to complete, like 99 problems [7]? =A0If you're not sure where to= begin, there are already a number of content issues you could contribute t= o [8].

Although we've gone through a bug-hunt already, feedback on the site is= still very welcome. =A0You can either create an issue on the tracker (pref= erred), or email the infrastructure list.

It's fantastic how far we've come and I look forward to the next ph= ase!

Best wishes,
Amir
