I think I was being a bit ambitious. What I was thinking, is possibly a source forge project (or sandbox/wherever) which had boost::dataflow components that people had written, and had decided to share.
Oh, I see :-) That's a great idea, but the prerequisite would be some sort of a stable release of dataflow... as it's being re-written, it might take a little time to get to that point.
My experience in this area comes from gstreamer (gstreamer.freedesktop.org) which provides a library similar to boost::dataflow, but also provides libraries of componets for multimedia processing. My previous example was probably a poor one, because it would be better implemented in boost::gil. But if there were a library maintained of sources, components, and sinks. It would be helpful. It is likely that this would become a project on its own however. Maybe you could list GStreamer in your "Support for more layers" section of the documentation. I don't know if it would be something I would be capable of, if it makes sense, or how feasible it would be.
I remember looking at GStreamer, and IIRC it gave me the impression that one could not build a C++ - only GStreamer app. I could be wrong, though - perhaps you can share your experience on this?
Thank you for you terrific work.
Thank you for your encouraging comment! (and the component repository idea) Stjepan
