The O'Caml Link DatabaseThis is a public board where everybody can announce software contributions to the Objective Caml community. Its goal is to give an overview of free software modules, projects and other things that might be interesting for others, and to have a central point where one can be informed about the newest updates of such contributions. The main theme of this database is software written in Objective Caml, a freely available dialect of the ML family of languages. Up to now, the usual way to get news about O'Caml is to read the O'Caml mailing list, where many announcement of contributions can be found, but because of the nature of a mailing list it is difficult to survey what is available and what is up to date. This database is designed to improve this situation. It is thought as an index of available software, and contains hyperlinks to closer descriptions and links to download areas. It does not store the software itself. There is also a manually updated index of software announced in the mailing list, the Caml Hump. It is an alternative source of information. Since April 2000, a new version of the database software has been released. The list of attributes stored with each entry has been extended, including a classification attribute. It is now allowed to add records about foreign software ("reported links") as well as records about your own software ("original links"). This "database" is simply a collection of CGI programs, of course written in O'Caml, too. You can view the code, as it is publicly stored (see below).
