It looks impressive! I'd recommend doing some basic search-engine-optimization to get it to show on searches. Specially for people looking for "C++", "Framework", "Toolkit", etc. You have no idea how many of us search for those keywords regularly. It's hillarious! I was writing my own BinaryWriter and BinaryReader, I'm glad I read your post. I will read more about POCO and see how can I contribute. Good luck, Steven "Guenter Obiltschnig" <guenter.obiltschnig@appinf.com> wrote in message news:3A5EA110-8705-43AB-87C8-093A8B7F3F1C@appinf.com... Hello all, David told me that the following announcement might be of interest in the Boost community, so here it goes ;-) I am happy to announce that POCO (the C++ Portable Components) is now under the Boost license, which makes it free for both open source and commercial use. Also, the new POCO Community Website is now online at http:// poco.appinf.com This is the place to meet the POCO developers and to discuss all things POCO. Contributors are welcome! About POCO: POCO, the C++ Portable Components, is a collection of open source class libraries that simplify and accelerate the development of network-centric, portable applications in C++. The libraries integrate perfectly with the C++ Standard Library and fill many of the functional gaps left open by it. Their modular and efficient design and implementation makes the C++ Portable Components extremely well suited for embedded development, an area where the C++ programming language is becoming increasingly popular, due to its suitability for both low-level (device I/O, interrupt handlers, etc.) and high-level object-oriented development.
