- <p>We need experienced review managers. Please take a look at the list
- of libraries in need of managers and check out their descriptions. In
- general review managers are active boost participants or library
- contributors. If you can serve as review manager for any of them,
- email Ron Garcia or John Phillips, "garcia at cs dot indiana dot edu"
- and "jphillip at capital dot edu" 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 John.</p>
- <p>If you're library author and plan on submitting a library for review
- in the next 3-6 months, send Ron or John a short description of your
- library and we'll add it to the Libraries Under Construction below.
- We know that there are many libraries that are near completion, but we
- have hard time keeping track all of them. Please keep us informed
- about your progress.</p>
