-<p>Boost was begun by members of the <a href="http://anubis.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc22/wg21/">C++

|
|
-Standards Committee</a> Library Working Group to provide free peer-reviewed
|
|
|
-portable libraries to the C++ community. An additional objective is to
|
|
|
+Library. One goal is to
|
|
|
establish "existing practice" and provide reference implementations so
|
|
|
-that the Boost libraries are suitable for eventual standardization. The intent is to propose many of these libraries for inclusion in the
|
|
|
-upcoming C++
|
|
|
+that the Boost libraries are suitable for eventual standardization. Some of the
|
|
|
+libraries have already been proposed for inclusion in the <a href="http://anubis.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc22/wg21/">C++
|
|
|
+Standards Committee</a>'s upcoming C++
|
|
|
Standard Library Technical Report.</p>
|
|
|

|

+nearly two thousand members of the C++ community at large.
