Hey David-

I'm a huge fan of examples. Most (all?) boost libraries have examples, but it would be nice to get many, many more. There are a ton of great things in boost. To me it would be inspiring for a person new to boost to look through them.

I know everytime I did something new with boost, I caught myself saying, "C++ is so freaking cool."

Could you give a few examples? When you've been around Boost and C++ as long as I have, you tend to lose touch with what will wow people. It would be really helpful to know what kinds of things you did that made you say that. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
