[string_algo] New Maintainer
Dear Boosters, After a careful consideration I finally realized that I can no long act as a maintainer for String Algorithms Library. I simply don't have the required time and I thinks that the library deserves at least development. Therefore I would like to call for a volunteer(s) who would like to take String Algorithm library further. I will still be available for consultations or any such assistance if required. Hopefully I will be also able to contribute a bit if my situation changes. Now, I don't really know if there is an official process for this kind of shift. I would be nice if potential volunteers would send a few words about the future direction they would take. A community can make a decision then. Best Regards, Pavol

Well, I haven't thought much about future directions, but it seems to me that the string algorithms would find a nice home in the Boost.Algorithm library (assuming it gets approved). In that case, I would be happy to take over maintenance. -- Marshall Marshall Clow Idio Software <mailto:mclow.lists@gmail.com> A.D. 1517: Martin Luther nails his 95 Theses to the church door and is promptly moderated down to (-1, Flamebait). -- Yu Suzuki

Personally I consider this to be quite an interesting idea regardless of who will be maintainer. Unified Algorithm library was an idea that predates the StringAlgo library itself. I'm definitely not against. Regards, Pavol

It seems that all that might be interested have already spoken. Base on this rather small interest, I think that it might be best to go the way that you have proposed. I like the idea of possible integration with Boost.Algorihtm, the bigger library might take better attention. So from this point, you have my blessings. Anyway if there is anybody with a better idea, feel free to express it. Best Regards, Pavol.

Thank you! And in my first official act as the Boost.StringAlgo maintainer, I would like to announce …. that there will be no major changes for 1.49 ;-) I'll be looking at the tickets later this week. -- Marshall Marshall Clow Idio Software <mailto:mclow.lists@gmail.com> A.D. 1517: Martin Luther nails his 95 Theses to the church door and is promptly moderated down to (-1, Flamebait). -- Yu Suzuki

Hi Pavol, I'm certainly interested in helping out. I'm also wondering whether there's any kind of process for these (and other) situations. Instead of a single maintainer, it might be better to have a team to maintain a (set of) libraries. Haven't thought about future directions yet, but having a look at the bugs tracker sounds like a good idea for a first effort. -- Olaf

This is a good point. An effort that can be more the welcome. Regards, Pavol.
