Hello all!
I want to ask an important question to the leading developers of Boost.
The fact that many programmers write to mailing list of Boost developers about their libraries. And they raised the questions about interest in their libraries and about inclusion their libraries in Boost.
But very often proposed library (or library with similar functionality) already exists in Boost, or nobody is interested in a such library.
Could you write about the subject areas and technical directions for libraries which would be *REALLY* useful in Boost today?
I am not a "leading developer of Boost" by any measure, but since I don't see a "-dev" in the list address, I think I'm ok to respond. I think that Boost could definitely use a framework for describing constraint satisfaction problems. Actually, I think such a framework could readily be built on top of Boost.Graph. I had planned to work on such a library once I felt comfortable enough with C++ and the way things are done in the Boost community, so that I don't end up embarrassing myself too much. I'd be glad to see it, though, whether it was my creation or not. Greg
