Dear all, I have a few meta comments about the Lockfree review and reviews in general: 1. I know a lot of people read this list via gmane.org. A bug in gmane.org means that when a message is posted to more than one list - for example, a review announcement sent to this list and announce@ - then it appears only in one, and follow-ups are lost. So gmane.org readers will have missed most of this review. Of course a valid answer would be "they should fix it", but considering how few reviews have been written recently I think we should do everything possible to increase discussion. I don't know if review managers get a "how to run your review" document, but assuming that they do, I suggest adding "please post separate announcements to each list, not one message to all". 2. I think every candidate library should have an online copy of its documentation. Again, I think this should be on the review manager's checklist. Yes, you could say that people should be able to download and unzip and/or build their own copy of the docs, but again, we need more reviews and we need to remove as many obstacles (real or imagined) as possible. (In the last review I asked "Where are the online docs?" and it turned out that they were available but I had missed them; oops. If I have once again missed them, oops again.) 3. This has already been discussed to some extent, but why are we reviewing this before Boost.Atomic? I think Boost.Atomic is an urgently-required library. What can we all do to help it get submitted and accepted as soon as possible? Regards, Phil.
