Are we reviewing both libraries at once?
That is my understanding.
As a review wizard, isn't that decision in part up to you?
However, at this point, until persuaded otherwise, I'm inclined to suggest to both authors that they should find a way to work together and issue a joint release.
I am inclined the same way, but if they're going to do that, we should not use a formal review to sort out any large-scale decisions that they can make between them.
I've looked at both libraries and the differences are subtle. Maybe we just need to persuade them that it would not diminish their work in any way if they were to submit a joint release. As both submissions are of high quality, I would not want to discourage either author.
It would also seem to me that the logging library proposals have the same problem. It would be my hope that we could get the authors of the various logging library proposals to work together and issue a joint release as well.
Again, aren't you able to influence that a bit as review wiz? -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
