<h1>Welcome to Boost.org!</h1>
<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.</p>
<p>The <a href="libs/libraries.htm">Libraries</a>.</p>
<p>The <a href="more/download.html">Download</a>&nbsp; page gives download and installation
information..</p>
<p>The <a href="status/compiler_status.html">Compiler Status</a>  page tells what
library works with which compiler.</p>
<p>The <a href="people/people.htm">People</a> pages identify some of the
developers who write the libraries and maintain the web site.</p>
<p>The <a href="more/faq.htm">FAQ</a> answers questions we hope someone will
bother to ask.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=7586">Tracker</a> lets
you view and submit bug, support, and feature requests.</p>
<p>The <a href="more/lib_guide.htm">Library Requirements and Guidelines</a> and <a href="more/submission_process.htm">Library
Submission Process</a>  pages provide basic information for library authors.</p>
<h2><a name="Membership">Membership</a></h2>
<p>If you are interested in Boost, please join our mailing list for
discussions of both technical and site-related issues, and to participate in
formal reviews of proposed libraries. Discussions can be received via email in summary or in full, or
viewed online via a web browser. We use the <a href="http://www.yahoogroups.com">YahooGroups</a>
list hosting service. Subscribe or unsubscribe by sending email to <a href="mailto:boost-subscribe@yahoogroups.com">boost-subscribe@yahoogroups.com</a>&nbsp;
or <a href="mailto:boost-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com">boost-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com</a>
respectively, or go to the <a href="http://www.yahoogroups.com/list/boost">mailing list home page</a>.&nbsp; Dave Abrahams,
Beman Dawes, and Jens Maurer are the list
moderators.</p>
<p>Boost also has a low-volume <a href="http://www.yahoogroups.com/list/boost-announce">announce-only
mailing list</a> which announces upcoming formal reviews and software releases.</p>
<p>For mailing list members only, preliminary libraries under discussion are
available from the YahooGroups <a href="http://www.yahoogroups.com/files/boost/">Files
section</a> (formerly called the &quot;vault&quot;).</p>
<p>Beman Dawes is the Boost <a name="webmaster">webmaster</a>; email him at <a href="mailto:beman@boost.org">beman@esva.net</a>
with any concerns you don't want to just post to the mailing list.</p>
<h2><a name="Rationale">Rationale</a></h2>
<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.&nbsp; An additional objective is to
establish &quot;existing practice&quot; and provide reference implementations so
that the Boost libraries are suitable for eventual standardization. Indeed, the
explicit intent is to propose many of these libraries for inclusion in the C++
Standard Library.</p>
