Boost's future, one big download?
When I read posts like "proposal: boost library for african insect classification" (joke) and things like that, I wonder what's going to happen to boost in the future. Some boost libraries are already too specific and this seems to be on the rise. Is boost going to be always a single download? Is boost's goal to become a "code wikipedia"? Thanks, Steven

Why not ;-) Seriously, could you make examples of libraries that are already "too specific"? -- [ Gennaro Prota, C++ developer for hire ]
This goes to the issue of code coupling and scalability which we're currently struggling with. Robert Ramey Steven Burns wrote:

And this question will also have to be seriously considered sooner than anyone expects.
Is boost's goal to become a "code wikipedia"?
Thanks,

Hey, don't laugh -- such a library would be ideal for some current major projects... http://www.actapress.com/PaperInfo.aspx?PaperID=25630 http://www.mediacy.com/index.aspx?page=ImageContest1st2004 Moshe

Surely software for insect classification would be full of bugs? Sorry, just couldn't resist :-) Run's laughing into the hills yours, John.
