The current situation with no CVS home for PQS is inadequate, however based on the feedback in the review I am working on various changes. As soon as possible I will try to put the library on a public database,
I'm looking forward to it.
I have got the project accepted at sourceforge. Its called Quan. Currently I am changing PQS headers into Quan. I then need to do the same for the documentation. Hopefully http://sourceforge.net/projects/quan will be functional in a week or so.
Yes and the 3D vector space stuff is a bit over my head, but I guess you guys know what you are talking about! Seriously I need to sort out the Concept documentation, so hopefully PQS can be compatible with 3rd party libraries or vice versa. or at least it can be used as one model for testing etc.
After all the new comments on this mailing list about lienar algebra, I think that maybe it's better that you completely remove all your classes related to linear algebra from PQS. David Abrahams has written that with his linear algebra library it will be possible to use units inside his vectors without any problems. So that is better for you - you can focus only on units, and just make sure that they are "perfect" - so then you can be sure that they will work with other libraries (including Dave's linear algebra).
Previously I was unaware of Dave's work on linear algebra library, so I was ecouraging work on it - because Boost.Ublas is simply not suitable for that (too much focus on speed resulted in loss of genericity).
(anybody correct me if I'm wrong ;)
FWIW I think this is the url: http://www.osl.iu.edu/research/mtl/ I suspect that MTL provides the Concepts, but I have to write the models, if that makes sense. However I am fairly sure that matrices of multiple element types arent supported. OTOH it might be possible to use the socalled free-quantity solely for checking purposes. I will need to write it to find out.
The only problem with a Wiki is that it requires a lot of attention AFAICS, though I havent run one. An alternative might be to put "quantities and quantity spaces" related papers in the Boost Vault. That would be less work anyway! OTOH if you want to set up a Wiki I'll not stop you!
heh, If you don't want to work using wiki, then perhaps it won't work even if I start a wiki. Because you are the chief here, I'm just trying to help as I can.
OK. Well , as I havent set up a site like Quan before, I hope I can ask your advice on the admin side, but I guess that O.T. for boost. I'll keep you informed of significant developments. regards Andy Little
