I think you pick the right answer. > Anyway, I took the survey. Nice idea. How much response have you had so far? > I have 239 answers so far. This is far beyond what I expected. Right now, my problem is that polldady limits answers to 100 per month, so I will have to wait until August to be able to read 200 answers (and september for the rest). But, you can still answer to the poll -- I will probably upgrade my account to read all the answers before september ;-) If you want to know some basic things I discover: - Being able to rate/comment a package is a must have - Most common pitfalls: Difficult to choose which library to use I never thought of adding ratings/comments to my OCaml project (OASIS-DB). All your answers already clarify a very important feature missing from my project. A lot of thanks. http://oasis.forge.ocamlcore.org/oasis-db.html Regards, Sylvain Le Gall _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
