Hello Boost,
I have been following the boost email lists for a while now and would like to contribute to Boost too.
Since it matches at best my experience it would be probably most beneficial if I contribute to a BOOST/FIX library. FIX comes from the "Financial Information eXchange" Protocol and it represents a standard that is used a lot in the Financial Industry. For more information see the related Web Site: http://www.fixtradingcommunity.org.
Firstly I would like to ask the community if there is interest in such a library and if anyone is doing any work on it. It seems to me that although there are a lot of firms and institutions in the world providing software or using FIX there are too few open source C++ libraries for that.
My gut instinct is that FIX is too domain-specific, whereas Boost is typically domain-agnostic libraries. Nut maybe I'm wrong about that? Tony
