I'm rather skeptical about that approach. Groups of similarly capable people are usually not very good at *designing* a library (unless there's a boss who has the last word on all the decisions). However, I think groups are unbeatable at uncovering design-flaws. So the best designs are initially often invented by an individual and the input later given by a group (users, boost-members, etc.) should then be used to refine until both sides are satisfied. Unfortunately, this puts most of the burden on the library submitter but I think it is the best process if you aim for high quality.
Yes. Boost emphasizes ownership by design, for that reason among others. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
