Sorry for answering very old message.  I was looking to camomile
related email and found this message.

2008/5/5 Berke Durak berke.du...@gmail.com:
 Hello,

 A few months ago I submitted a small patch to ExtLib to the UTF8 module,
 adding three small but important functions

   - substring
   - output_uchar
   - eof

Camomile do have substring (SubText module) and output_char (This is
done by CharEncoding module).   I'm not sure that EoF is required.
The idea behind Camomile is that channels raise End_of_File exception
when no character is available to read.  I think today most file does
not use EOF character to signify the end of file.  They simply
terminates.

 The patch hasn't been integrated in the ExtLib SVN (I've checked the trunk
 and tags on the SVN at code.google.com).
 As it's actually a patch against Camomile, (at the time I didn't know at the
 time that UTF8 was taken from Camomile),
 Richard Jones suggested that this is where the patch should go.

As I stated, Camomile does have things you suggested.  It is different
matter whether Extlib shoud have them.  This is the matter for
judgement of Extlib team.

 Also maybe you could host Camomile at
 forge.ocamlcore.org...

What is the benefit of it?

There are many benefits:
- better visibility among other OCaml projects 
- beginners can easily find your library
- people that don't know OCaml can easily see that they are many
  libraries for OCaml, just having a look at forge.ocamlcore.org
- integration of news from your project directly into the feed of the
  forge which goes to planet.ocamlcore.org
- people that could fill a bug report have a high probability to be
  subscribed to forge.ocamlcore.org for their own projects

On the other hand, I don't like to criticize but Sourceforge is not
cristal clear with UI (I agree that GForge/forge.ocamlcore.org is also
not very good at this). Moreover, we do have a lot of problems with
tracking new release of Sourceforge projects in Debian: we cannot easily
access download section.
