If all of that fails I want the rest of the community to understand why we are doing what we're doing so that our work will be accepted, both by users, and -- we hope -- as a separate Boost library.
You should just make your own "improved" version of the library and get it reviewed as a replacement or alternative for the current one. Sounds like you've got a couple of competent and interested people on board - just do it!
No, we don't want to maintain a whole serialization library. We're willing, if necessary, to maintain a small library built upon Boost.Serialization, like what's proposed in http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2005/11/97002.php Are you unwilling to discuss the topics I raised in my previous message? -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
