As a user of boost, I find difficult to guess the name of something because for some libraries, stuff is just in boost:: namespace (regex and type traits for example) and for others it is in boost::library:: namespace (for example string algorithms). It would help to have a standard naming convention.
I completely agree. I think that only a simple libraries should be located in a namespace boost (for example, boost::mem_fn or boost::lexical_cast). All other libraries should be located in own namespace boost::own::.
Make that "simple legacy libraries." IMO we've gone past the point that we can afford to put anything new directly in boost.
I lean that way too. If something comes up that we all agreed should go
