  • Attending: Jon Ludlam, Gemma Gordon, Bella Leandersson and Patrick Ferris (Thursday 11th March 2021) Current Situation Currently on OCaml.org there are two sections linked from the main navigation bar that relate to our problem: learn and docs. It's a little bit of a mess, for example: Within in Learn we also have industrial users and success stories, but Learn is probably more geared towards people wanting to learn the OCaml language. Docs is essentially a wrapper around the manual pointing to various interesting bits and also some books and a brief description about opam. For any new user coming to OCaml.org the narrative is confusing and (as we've discovered) a lot of these words are overloaded. We plan to fix this is the new ocaml.org site.
