I would like to attract your attention to the very special position you have in this community, especially among newcomers I count myself with. Seeing dave (I mean THE dave! ;-) ) not maintaining his libraries creates a precedent and sends a wrong signal, which deals a blow to boost's credibility. Companies could wonder, waow, if the community cannot even help dave maintain his libraries, in which state must be others?
Also considering that ryppl is so far not a reality yet and not even agreed on, we need a solution for the time being. Why not simply request help from the community to which you brought so much? I'm sure that many would be happy to help you on this.
Heh, leave it to the Boost community to teach me that there's a Boost community! Thank you, Christophe, you're very right. I hereby apologize to the community for my earlier announcement and request that you accept a retraction :-)
So, concretely, what is the problem? Do you have no time handling the feature requests or is svn the problem?
I'll prepare a proper response to these questions in a separate message, but I wanted to head off any damage immediately. Regards, -- David Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://boostpro.com
