What is the current status of all Boost mathmatical, statistical and econometric libraries currently in development? The collection of boost math libraries that are currently included in the library are world-class and provide a wonderful foundation to build-upon. However, many areas of advanced statistical and mathmatical inference are not currently being addressed by any of the boost libraries. Is there currently a way for those boost developers with a background in mathmatics to coordinate their efforts. If not, why not? Lets get such a discussion started. A continued and regular dialog of mathmatics as it relates to boost library development would be of great use, primaryily to avoid overaping our efforts. If your a mathmetician and agree with me that boost is a great foundation to build-upon, let the group/me know. Points for Discussion: 1) We should keep a seperate list of boost::math libraries that are currently under development and provide a forum for advanced discussions. How can we do this? 2) We need a way to attract the best mathmaticians in the world. How can we make the boost libraries an even more attractive development platform for the mathemiticians? 3) We should create a list of mathmatical algorithims and libraries that are needed. 4) We need some very basic boost specific math-tutorials for our future mathemiticans and potential library writers. 5) We need to advertise to the development community about how strong of a foundation boost is for mathmatical library development. In short, lets tell the world that this is the premiere place for advanced mathmatical library development, as I believe that it could be. Comments?
