Hi, I'm interested in the Boost.Pipelines proposal of GSoC 2014. [0] I'd like to ask the stakeholder (Vicente J. Botet Escriba ?) the following: * Is this supposed to be built from scratch or rather to be some kind of improvement over the already existing google implementation? [1] * If the former is true, should be n3534 [2] considered as a strict requirement or as a vague suggestion? * If the later is true, which features should be the main distinctive ones? I think about things like using Boost libraries (e.g: Boost.Atomic) instead of custom solutions, cross platform support, comply to Boost coding standard, etc. Are there any areas of improvement identified in the reference implementation? * I understand it might take quite a long time for a proposal to make it to Boost, therefore it's not a requirement. Is there any objective milestone that a successful project should reach anyway?
