Hello all!
I want to ask an important question to the leading developers of Boost.
The fact that many programmers write to mailing list of Boost developers about their libraries. And they raised the questions about interest in their libraries and about inclusion their libraries in Boost.
But very often proposed library (or library with similar functionality) already exists in Boost, or nobody is interested in a such library.
Could you write about the subject areas and technical directions for libraries which would be *REALLY* useful in Boost today?
Thanks.

If I understand correctly you want people to chip on what they feel is missing? If that's the case I do feel there's room for a fully featured XML parser / writer library, and that is for numerous reasons. First of all XML usage is very wide spread and I do believe it's a fairly common 3rd party dependency. Secondly an XML parser / writer can be written to a very high quality using the libraries already present in boost ( spirit & iostreams comes to mind ), because of this I think it could double as a great example for those libraries as well as proving their viability. Furthermore I don't think there's any really high quality C++ xml libraries out there, having been forced to use a few. They're either written in C or severely flawed in some way, sometimes both.
