Mailing lists

There are two mailing lists available.

• MLton@mlton.org (subscribe, archive) MLton developers

• MLton-user@mlton.org (subscribe, archive) MLton user community

In addition to the pipermail archive at mlton.org, there are archives of both MLton and MLton-user that use Lurker.

Mailing list policy

• Both mailing lists are unmoderated. However, we use a whitelist to prevent spam. So, the first time you send to the list, your mail will be delayed until we add you to the whitelist.

• Large messages (over 256K) should not be sent. Rather, please send an email containing the discussion text and a link to any large files. You may use our TemporaryUpload page for uploading these files.

• Very active MLton@mlton.org list members who might otherwise be expected to provide a fast response should send a message when they will be offline for more than a few days. The convention is to put "userid offline until date" in the subject line to make it easy to scan.

• Discussions started on the mailing lists should stay on the mailing lists. Private replies may be bounced to the mailing list for the benefit of those following the discussion.

• Discussions started on MLton-user@mlton.org may be migrated to MLton@mlton.org, particularly when the discussion shifts from how to use MLton to how to modify MLton (e.g., to fix a bug identified by the initial discussion).

IRC

• Some MLton developers and users are in channel #sml on http://freenode.net.
