Hugo's code was a one-person effort. The whole stuff I set up on http://www.crystalclearsoftware.com/cgi- bin/boost_wiki/wiki.pl?BoostNet is based on what Hugo and others contributed in the Wiki. This *is* an attempt to go on with what we have already. Looking at all the discussions going on here I am not hopeless. The stuff I wrote in this thread was an attempt to give a summary of the discussions and make some decisions to go on with the design (as these discussions must lead to something practical of course). I don't know if this will work in the end. But I don't want to create a library by myself as I agree that these one-person efforts have proven to fail.
Yeah, I know you are trying to extend the original work, but as a group it doesn't seem like we have that focus. Also, I wasn't sure if you were going to look at Hugo's initial implementation or not. At the end of the day, I, like Doug, don't really care where or how the code appears -- so if people want to abandon Hugo's initial effort that's fine, but it would seem like a shorter path to build on the original work. I haven't looked at the new stuff in the sandbox or read the other thread yet... Jeff
