I'm wondering if perhaps you've got confused about the differing roles of review manager vs reviewer. IRC a review manager doesn't review libraries himself, he reviews the reviews of others, weighs them and arrives at a acceptance/rejection. Think the US court system

judge - review manager jury - reviewers.

There's a problem with the analogy because we do expect the Review Manager to ensure the case is ready for court and the defense is fully prepared, so to speak.

I'm not going to write a full review of the library, I'm just trying to satisfy the first bullet for Review manager: http://www.boost.org/community/reviews.html#Review_Manager

In other words, there is a need to look through the sources, docs and build system, make sure that installation notes are sufficient, tell the author about missing/weak parts.

Absolutely correct. I suggest issuing a different word than "review"in the future, however. Perhaps "examine" or "study" would serve. ___ Rob (Sent from my portable computation engine)
