Looking for Maintainers / Moderators for the OCaml Cookbook

Hi everyone,

after we added the OCaml Cookbook on OCaml.org, we got into a position where we

  1. had contributions sitting around for a while because we did not have the capacity to review and moderate these additions, and
  2. felt we do not have a good enough understanding of the ecosystem in general to assess whether the chosen libraries are reasonable, or whether there’s other options that need to be mentioned.

To make the cookbook really useful, we need to build a better process around maintaining it and adding to it.

I propose:

  1. We appoint a handful of moderators / maintainers for the OCaml Cookbook, drawing from volunteers.
  2. I create a Telegram group to stay in contact with you all to ask for help on cookbook PRs. (This could a group focused precisely on the OCaml Cookbook.)

So, if you’re up for helping with the cookbook, have any questions, or other remarks, please reach out to sabine@tarides.com, or reply here! :orange_heart:

Would it be possible to use the OCaml Discord instead?

Perhaps a “generic Database” section would be interesting. I mean, the caqti library used by my submission can be used with Postgres and MySQL.

I am not that convinced by “Full text search”. But it can be easy to propose something (it is just a SELECT query as already demonstrated… We just have a : column LIKE “%text%” filter), that would just demonstrates a SQL feature.
