  20. <p>The Boost web site provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries.
  21. The emphasis is on libraries which work well with the C++ Standard
  22. Library.</p>
  23. <p> <a href="libs/libraries.htm">Libraries</a> gives a one line overview of
  24. each library.
  25. <br><a href="#Latest News">Latest News</a> gives a capsule history of recent
  26. releases.

  28. Download</a>&nbsp; gives download and installation information.

  30. Compiler Status</a> tells what
  31. library works with which compiler.
  32. <br><a href="people/people.htm">
  33. People</a> identifies some of the

  48. <p>If you are interested in Boost, please join our mailing list for
  49. discussions of both technical and site-related issues, and to participate in
  50. formal reviews of proposed libraries. Discussions can be received via email in summary or in full, or
  51. viewed online via a web browser. We use the <a href="http://www.yahoogroups.com">YahooGroups</a>
  52. list hosting service. Subscribe or unsubscribe by sending email to <a href="mailto:boost-subscribe@yahoogroups.com">boost-subscribe@yahoogroups.com</a>&nbsp;

  54. respectively, or go to the <a href="http://www.yahoogroups.com/list/boost">mailing list home page</a>.&nbsp; Dave Abrahams,
  55. Beman Dawes, and Jens Maurer are the list
  56. moderators.</p>
  57. <p>Boost also has a low-volume <a href="http://www.yahoogroups.com/list/boost-announce">announce-only
  58. mailing list</a> which announces upcoming formal reviews and software releases.</p>
  59. <p>For mailing list members only, preliminary libraries under discussion are
  60. available from the YahooGroups <a href="http://www.yahoogroups.com/files/boost/">Files
  61. section</a> (formerly called the &quot;vault&quot;).</p>
  62. <p>Beman Dawes is the Boost <a name="webmaster">webmaster</a>; email him at <a href="mailto:beman@boost.org">beman@esva.net</a>
  63. with any concerns you don't want to just post to the mailing list.</p>
  64. <h2><a name="Rationale">Rationale</a></h2>
  65. <p>Boost was begun by members of the <a href="http://anubis.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc22/wg21/">C++
  66. Standards Committee</a> Library Working Group to provide free peer-reviewed
  67. portable libraries to the C++ community.&nbsp; An additional objective is to
  68. establish &quot;existing practice&quot; and provide reference implementations so
  69. that the Boost libraries are suitable for eventual standardization. The intent is to propose many of these libraries for inclusion in the
  70. upcoming C++
  71. Standard Library Technical Report.</p>
