Hi there,
to get the boost extension movement going how would people feel if we
create a new project on sourceforge called "boost_extension". This
will be a placeholder for all extensions to all boost accepted
libraries. The goal is to have a project structure very similar to
boost. For instance, all extensions have to have tests, documentation,
etc supported by bjam. The folder structure will be the same boost,
like
boost_extension\boost\gil\io
or
boost_extension\libs\gil\io\test\
There will be a review process as well. Only accepted libraries will
be added. Hopefully enough people will be interested in participating.
As, for releasing, again we would model after boost. There will be a
developing trunk and a release branch. Hopefully within the next
couple of releases we can sync releases with boost.
I know there is a plethora of issues involving such an effort. Please
let me know what you think.
Thanks,
Christian
