Boost.Apprenticeship? Jim, I think it would be awesome if you would like to run a program like this! Obviously it would take a lot of cooperation from library authors and the rest of the community, but to make something like this work I think it needs a coordinator. What do you say?
I would definitely sign up for this if it existed. Going from simply using basic templates with C++ to a high grade and quality of single/multithreaded programming can be done by yourself but not always quickly. I have found mentoring to be a way to grab years of wisdom quickly so you don't repeat past mistakes nor rediscover some technique.
You'd sign up to be an apprentice, or to mentor someone?
Sorry David I should have been more clear that I would sign up as an apprentice. Stephen
