Hi Boost Developers;
i and my friend want to develope a library for boost. Is there any policy document for that ? i want to learn this process step by step.
For what it's worth, you can find my own personal take on this at www.blincubator.com
Great resource. Is it intentional the domain redirects to http://rrsd.com/blincubator.com ?
This is a side effect of the fact that I created it as an add-on domain to my main web site. I might be willing to spend months of time working on boost but I draw the line at paying $10/mo for an extra web site.
Can you give some information on the ressources the website needs? Eventually I'd be willing to host it and thus sponsor that project. Of course that depends on the ammount of ressources that I have to expect.
My remark was a little sarcastic. This started out as an experiment. I don't have much interest in web site development per se - but it's a useful thing to for me to know more about and of course I had ideas about how to make development of better C++ libraries easier. I was curious to see how far one could go without re-inventing any wheels. Since I went through about 5 experimental approaches, I didn't want to get are "real" url until I had settled a real implementation. By now I'm about there - that is I've gotten sucked into investing enough effort in wordpress development and I'm close enough to some sort of finish line that I might start thinking about a more permanent place for this. Also the it's still a big question as wheter this website will actually be found to be useful to enough people. I had thought it would be relatively easy to generate something like this. I managed to get it close to where I want to be BUT it took about four tries at different toolsets. The final result is word press with about 6 different plugins and a bunch of hacking for for different pages. It's a revelation to me how crude the whole thing turns out to be. Of course wordpress hackers love their stuff - but to me the software development in the last 15 years has been regressing in a big way. Us boosters stand in the way of progress and shout - ENOUGH. Anyway the final piece I want to add is to hook up to the google analytics API so I can add a statistics to the page for each library. It has always been a sore spot for me that I can't know how many people use each particular library in boost. I need this "marketing" information to get a better handle on what the world is demanding. Soooo if there are any wordpress/php/google analytics API hackers who want to lend a hand on this - I'm all ears. Robert Ramey
