What's wrong with "libraries by category" part of

in the first place?!
hmm .. Having Spirit and Wave under "string and text processing" is a bit underwhelming for earth shattering libs like these isnt it? They sound so much coooler in the "bleeding-edge libraries" section ... Thats where I'd prefer to be anyway!
While I agree that 'string and text processing' might not be the most accurate description for them, I don't think 'bleeding-edge libraries' isn't a very meaningful category to put anything in. What does it tell about the problem domain ? It seems more about marketing than information. IMO of course.
I should have put a smiley at the end of that. Nevertheless its a serious point. I do know about http://www.boost.org/libs/libraries.htm but I can never actually find what I'm looking for when I get there as everythings a bit arbitrarily categorised and its a bit miserable. I guess the true answer is semantic markup or whatever the latest html wizardry is. The short term alt option is an *Alphabetic* drop-down list of keywords which take you can put into the google box. Like you get with MS compiled Help files. The Google box works quite well though FWIW. regards Andy Little
