[Property Tree] Maintenance Takeover
Hi, I'd like to officially announce that I have, with Marcin Kalicinski's permission, taken over maintenance of the Property Tree library. Over the next week I'll take a good look at it and see what there is to be done for inclusion in an official release. At the moment, it seems like the main problem is insufficient and outdated documentation. Marcin also had other concerns regarding the library (performance and interface), and I'll see if they should be addressed before an official release as well. (Interface concerns are more pressing, obviously.) If anybody has additional comments on the library, change requests, performance data, or simple discussion of ideas, now is the time to let me now.

Hi,
I'd like to officially announce that I have, with Marcin Kalicinski's permission, taken over maintenance of the Property Tree library.
Much appreciated. It's a useful library. I posted some comments to the list about property tree here: http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2008/05/137861.php. Mainly it's related to the default translator type being part of the ptree interface. My suggestion was that property tree should not have a default translator, instead a translator should be supplied by user in the get_xxx functions. The discussion died before reaching some consensus though. Thanks for working on the project, we've had a svn snapshot version in production code for a very long time already. Christian

Thank you for taking this on, Sebastian. I look forward to your updates on this work and really do appreciate it. [snip]

I don't know how useful you'll find it, I was just learning about the doc toolchain myself at the time, but let me know if you have any questions about the bit of doc work I attempted awhile back. https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/1989 -Ryan

FWIW, I'm putting together a zipfile containing xsltproc, the docbook stylesheets and a quickbook executable. Which should make it a lot easier to get started on windows. It won't contain doxygen, but that's pretty easy to setup. Daniel
