That said, it might make it more reasonable to bring things to completion within the SoC time frame, so I wouldn't rule it out at this point.
First, thanks for your answer.
I didn't know the existence of that library... I think that it is very similar to my idea.. so.. maybe someone with more experience in the boost community could give me advice about how to apply to improve that idea?
In any case, please do consider applying -- there are lots of possible
projects and folks are definitely willing to help you get something that will work.
I really want to apply, but I want to write a good proposal according to the feasibility of the project.. so if there is in the list anybody that could me help giving advice of what should be done to improve that library, or to write other, please contact me.
I'ld be happy to help here. I'm using a slightly modified early version of a similar library (initially written by Vladimir Prus, here: http://tinyurl.com/3xeqzr) for quite some time now and I think we need something related in Boost! A good starting point would be an analysis of the existing libraries to be able to define a suitable API and the related functionality (Jeffs mentioned boost.extension already containing a good overview). I think the required effort to write such a library makes it a good candidate for SoC. Regards Hartmut
