- <p>The Boost web site provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries.
|
|
|
- The emphasis is on libraries which work well with the C++ Standard Library. One
|
|
|
- goal is to establish "existing practice" and provide reference implementations
|
|
|
- so 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>
|
|
|
- <p>Although Boost was begun by members of the C++ Standards Committee Library
|
|
|
- Working Group, membership has expanded to include nearly two thousand members
|
|
|
- of the C++ community at large.</p>

|
|
+ <p>The Boost web site provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries.
|
|
|
+ The emphasis is on libraries which work well with the C++ Standard Library. One
|
|
|
+ goal is to establish "existing practice" and provide reference implementations
|
|
|
+ so 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>
|
|
|
+ <p>Although Boost was begun by members of the C++ Standards Committee Library
|
|
|
+ Working Group, membership has expanded to include nearly two thousand members
|
|
|
+ of the C++ community at large.</p>
|
|
|
+ <h2><a name="Membership">Membership</a></h2>
|
|
|
+ <p>If you are interested in becoming a member of Boost, please do so by joining our

|
+ site-related issues, and members are encouraged to participate in formal
|
|
|
