Dear friends of the best unknown programming language on the planet.
Someone with sufficiently many points on Stackoverflow has recently created a "polyml" tag. I have already brushed up its wiki http://stackoverflow.com/tags/polyml/info and added the tag to some existing questions.
Often there is the odd situation that people ask questions about "ml" or "sml" and can only think of "smlnj" as the one and only implementation.
People on this mailing list should know better, and are invited to populate the "polyml" section of Stackoverflow further. (It has presently 2 followers and 18 questions.)
It is also possible to vote for questions and answers that are relevant for Poly/ML, and thus improve its visibility.

Just subscribed! While we are sort of on the topic... if you, dear mailing list, come across something interesting (or that happened recently) relating to SML, please post it on Reddit at /r/sml https://reddit.com/r/sml!
As an outsider, I can confirm this: the more that SMLers interact on Stackoverflow or Reddit, the more alive SML will look and will attract more interest and developers and students. (Activity on Github is what brought me to Poly/ML.) I and many others outside of academia would love to be kept in the loop for just about anything related to SML. I would truly appreciate any seconds spent posting a paper or project you see on Reddit. Or, if it is more convenient for you just email me and I will post it!
Thank you!
