I am very pleased to announce that [Dream](https://github.com/camlworks/dream), the Web framework, is now owned and maintained by a new team, of:

- Sabine Schmaltz (@sabine), maintainer of [OCaml.org](http://OCaml.org)
- Sebastian Willenbrink ( [Willenbrink (Sebastian Willenbrink) · GitHub](https://github.com/Willenbrink) ), author of the effort to port Dream to Eio
- Yawar Amin (@yawaramin), author of dream-html, and the Web framework ReWeb

…among their other projects and contributions to the OCaml community. All are major and long-term contributors to, and users of, Dream.

I’ve stepped back from ownership and overall maintenance, but will still work on parts of Dream every now and then as a contributor, along with all of Dream’s contributors 🙂

Dream is discussed in this forum, in its [issue tracker](https://github.com/camlworks/dream/issues), [#webdev](https://discord.com/channels/436568060288172042/439062744105484288) in the OCaml Discord, and [#dream](https://ocaml.zulipchat.com/#narrow/channel/556063-dream) on Zulip. Dream has a (roughly) weekly open video call on Discord for contributors to discuss technical issues with each other and with maintainers.

Welcome to Sabine, Sebastian, Yawar, the new team!

Hey, just wanted to say thank you!

I’ve been building in Dream on weekends for the past couple months, and it’s been a great intro to OCAML for me. Everything has been very simple and functional. I’m a bit shocked at how productive I feel in it, actually.

My app works pretty well, and unlike other projects, I’m weirdly excited about getting to refactor and rewrite parts, because it will let me use language features I didn’t understand when I started.

I had never even considered using recursive functions to write template code before, and I’m irrationally pleased by that idea.

Thank you for your work on Dream and congrats and welcome to the new team. We call them the Dream Team, right?

Absolutely, the Dream Team :))

They will also seek to add additional maintainers over time, as the roadmap is pretty expansive. We have/had some quite strong candidates.
