- <p>We need experienced review managers. Please take a look at
- the list of libraries in need of managers and check out their
- descriptions. If you can serve as review manager for any of
- them, email Ron Garcia or Tom Brinkman "garcia at cs dot indiana dot edu"
- and "reportbase at gmail dot com" respectively.</p>
- <p>A link to this report will be posted to www.boost.org.
- If you would like us to make any modifications or additions to this
- report before we do that, please email Ron or Tom.</p>
- <p>If you're library author and plan on submitting a library for review
- in the next 3-6 months, send Ron or Tom a
- short description of your library and we'll add it to the
- Libraries Under Construction below. We know that there are many
- libaries that are near completion, but we have hard time keeping
- track all of them. Please keep us informed about your progress.</p>

- (SI). The library predefines a large number of quantities,
