Great resource. Is it intentional the domain redirects to http://rrsd.com/blincubator.com ? It looks some links may be broken. I followed footer "Robert Ramey" link and got Not Found at http://rrsd.com/blincubator.com/requirements/www.rrsd.com Best regards, -- Mateusz Loskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net

This is a side effect of the fact that I created it as an add-on domain to my main web site. I might be willing to spend months of time working on boost but I draw the line at paying $10/mo for an extra web site. It looks some links may be broken.

Hmmm - I'll look into this. I'm sure this is an effect of using wordpress. Like many other things, it starts out easy - but ends up sucking up huge amounts of time chasing smalll quirks like this one. I'm making progress getting this to where I want it to be and any kind of feedback is appreciated. Robert Ramey
Hi,
Can you give some information on the ressources the website needs? Eventually I'd be willing to host it and thus sponsor that project. Of course that depends on the ammount of ressources that I have to expect.

My remark was a little sarcastic. This started out as an experiment. I don't have much interest in web site development per se - but it's a useful thing to for me to know more about and of course I had ideas about how to make development of better C++ libraries easier. I was curious to see how far one could go without re-inventing any wheels. Since I went through about 5 experimental approaches, I didn't want to get are "real" url until I had settled a real implementation. By now I'm about there - that is I've gotten sucked into investing enough effort in wordpress development and I'm close enough to some sort of finish line that I might start thinking about a more permanent place for this. Also the it's still a big question as wheter this website will actually be found to be useful to enough people. I had thought it would be relatively easy to generate something like this. I managed to get it close to where I want to be BUT it took about four tries at different toolsets. The final result is word press with about 6 different plugins and a bunch of hacking for for different pages. It's a revelation to me how crude the whole thing turns out to be. Of course wordpress hackers love their stuff - but to me the software development in the last 15 years has been regressing in a big way. Us boosters stand in the way of progress and shout - ENOUGH. Anyway the final piece I want to add is to hook up to the google analytics API so I can add a statistics to the page for each library. It has always been a sore spot for me that I can't know how many people use each particular library in boost. I need this "marketing" information to get a better handle on what the world is demanding. Soooo if there are any wordpress/php/google analytics API hackers who want to lend a hand on this - I'm all ears. Robert Ramey
Hi,
Sorry, I did't spot the sarcasm.
I am not too much of a fan of google analytics. The drawback is, that it generates a central database of user behaviour on very many sites. Is e.g. Piwik eventually an option for you (http://www.piwik.org)?

If someone want's to do it, he can pretty much do it the way he wants to. (subject to the constraint that it doesn't muck anything else up). I only mentioned google analytics because it's the only one I know about. I've used it by just droping the javascript code and it was a no-brainer - which is a great feature from my stand point. Of course, my needs were only the most rudimentary up until now. Now I would like to be able to use some api to view statistics for a library inside the library page that the user sees - not just the administrator. Seems like a simple request, but .... you know... On my previous provider they had a simple program would would troll the local log. Actually this was the best solution for me - no adding stuff to pages etc. Just thought I'd mention it. Just to repeat what I've said in previous posts. It has always been a sore spot to me that I can't get any statistics on how many users the serialization library has. This is because boost is deployed as "one big thing". With blincubator I want to avoid that so we have some idea about how many people have found a library useful. So if I see a library has been download 5000 times and only has 10 complaints that's useful information. If a library has been downloaded only 4 times and has 10 complaints, that's also useful information. If 10,000 people reviewed the documentation but only 20 downloaded it, that's useful information as well. etc... Robert Ramey
