Other than that, the only thing you might add are testimonials on the home page.

You're suggesting that I put the testimonials in my talk, or just that we add more testimonials to the home page?

Sorry, home page, not talk.

Everything I have used (and it's a whole lot more than the filesystem library by now) just works. My experience with other open source code has not been so seamless and easy, so I really appreciate this about Boost, and I thank all those who have contributed to it.

Can we use that one? :)

Sure. But Scott Meyers would carry more weight. ;-)

Maybe, but Scott doesn't program for a living. He'll never have the perspective of an in-the-trenches C++ programmer discovering how Boost has just made his life easier, so he could never say anything like that. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
