  63. <p>The Boost web site provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries.
  64. The emphasis is on libraries which work well with the C++ Standard
  65. Library. One goal is to
  66. establish &quot;existing practice&quot; and provide reference implementations so
  67. that the Boost libraries are suitable for eventual standardization. Some of the
  68. libraries have already been proposed for inclusion in the <a href="http://anubis.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc22/wg21/">C++
  69. Standards Committee</a>'s upcoming C++
  70. Standard Library Technical Report.</p>
  71. <p> Although Boost was begun by members of the C++
  72. Standards Committee Library Working Group, membership has expanded to include
  73. nearly two thousand members of the C++ community at large.
  74. </p>
  75. <h2><a name="Membership">Membership</a></h2>
  76. <p>If you are interested in becoming a member of Boost, please do so by joining our main
  77. developers mailing list. Discussions include both technical and site-related issues, and
  78. members are encouraged to participate in
  79. formal reviews of proposed libraries.</p>
