However, as you're ready to review manage now, and the v1.3 engine is likely to not arrive before the end of 2014, please do look through the docs now relocated to http://boostgsoc13.github.io/boost.afio/. I have made some improvements based on what Robert said about them. If you think the library is ready for review now, do let me know.
I'll take a closer look to the library and write a personal note with comments/notes as soon as I get some free time.
But first of all, I'll take care of the Compute review :-)
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.
I don't think there is a rule on this. The review manager is free in choosing means to form an opinion of the library, including reviewing it himself. In fact, I'd say, the review manager is expected to acquaint himself with the library to form educated opinion.
