Yes, but like many great ideas associated with Boost the reason it hasn't been implemented is simply time and motivated volunteers. Of course we need to discuss 'how' to collect the information, but what we really need is a new contributors to take on the project...
Here's some simple ways I can imagine gathering and implementing this: *Do an initial collection by making posts on various C++ lists and as people to send info about their usage of boost *Make a static web-page that is incorporated into the boost site *Establish a form on the boost pages which users can fill out to collect new information... *Somehow use the wiki for gathering this info... *etc...
We also need a clear policy for what goes on the page, my initial thoughts are that as an incentive to users to "own up" we should allow: A company logo, where appropriate. A link to the home page of the product/organisation that's using Boost. A brief description of the product/organisation that's using Boost. In addition, the text should say which parts of Boost the product/organisation is using (anything else?). Glowing recommendations would be strictly optional ;-) Finally, before posting on a web page, we should have the permission of a "responsible person" in the organisation concerned, probably whoever does their public relations, this is obviously the tricky bit. If we could set up a trial page first, with 2 or 3 companies/products listed, so that potential customers can see what they're letting themselves in for, that would probably help as well. John.
