No worries, I clearly had too much time on my hands ;)

The first thing I am wondering is why this library is not in TRUNK now that it is a part of boost?
The library wasn't ready for 1.35, so I never put it in trunk. Now that we've branched for release, I can put accumulators in trunk and continue development there.
Fair enough. General Boost comment not specific to this library: This is really a side-effect of how we manage our branches and releases. With the move to SVN I'd imagine this sort of thing will get easier. I'd fully expect that acceptance of a boost library really should mean it goes into TRUNK (from now on). Whether or not that library makes it from TRUNK onto a release branch really is a separate question. That way we can build and view tests for the library which can only help its development towards a releasable state.
I'd be very interested in seeing a newer version of the library that addresses the many points highlighted during the review or at least know that the library is currently being tidied up and will make into a boost release soon :)
Much of the feedback from the review has already been incorporated into the version in the file vault. It's getting there, but slowly. I have a day job and libraries shipping in 1.35 that needed maintenance, and those took precedence. Sorry for the delay ... the library *will* make its appearance in trunk soon.
I look forward to that thanks :) Jamie
