Dear Boost,
I see that new candidate Boost libraries entering the review queue have exploded in recent years, with no less than *twenty-three* proposed libraries awaiting a review.
Contrary to what some people have expressed, I do think that Boost should strive to include more libraries (but not at any cost, of course). The reason is that part of Boost's reason to be is being a workbench for libraries that aim to get standardized, so we can get real world experience. This does not mean that we should trade quality or general usefulness for quantity, but I think it wouldn't harm to clear that review queue and get more potential candidates for standardization. One problem with C++ is the lack of a rich ecosystem of libraries (look at Java!). Boost can help address that. I won't make any comment regarding using money to encourage review managers; I don't have a formed opinion about this. However, I would be comfortable with requiring Boost authors to manage a review within [some period of time] of their library being accepted. Independently of this, I have decided to manage the review for CallableTraits. I think we should edit the page containing the review queue to better advertise that we're looking for review managers, and also explain how to become one. Currently, you have to scroll all the way down and read text in small font. Louis -- View this message in context: http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/review-queue-What-to-do-about-the-library...
