  19. <h1>Welcome to Boost.org!</h1>
  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> page gives a one line overview of
  24. each library.</p>
  25. <p> <a href="#Latest News">Latest News</a> gives a capsule history of recent
  26. releases .</p>
  27. <p> <a href="more/download.html">Download</a>&nbsp; page gives download and installation
  28. information..</p>
  29. <p> <a href="status/compiler_status.html">Compiler Status</a> page tells what
  30. library works with which compiler.</p>
  31. <p> <a href="people/people.htm">People</a> pages identify some of the
  32. developers who write the libraries and maintain the web site.</p>
  33. <p> <a href="more/faq.htm">FAQ</a> answers questions we hope someone will
  34. bother to ask.</p>
  35. <p> <a href="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=7586">Tracker</a> lets
  36. you view and submit bug, support, and feature requests.</p>
  37. <p> <a href="more/lib_guide.htm">Library Requirements and Guidelines</a> and <a href="more/submission_process.htm">Library
  38. Submission Process</a> pages provide basic information for library authors.</p>

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

  49. <p>Boost also has a low-volume <a href="http://www.yahoogroups.com/list/boost-announce">announce-only
  50. mailing list</a> which announces upcoming formal reviews and software releases.</p>
  51. <p>For mailing list members only, preliminary libraries under discussion are
  52. available from the YahooGroups <a href="http://www.yahoogroups.com/files/boost/">Files
  53. section</a> (formerly called the &quot;vault&quot;).</p>

  56. <h2><a name="Rationale">Rationale</a></h2>
  57. <p>Boost was begun by members of the <a href="http://anubis.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc22/wg21/">C++
  58. standards committee</a> Library Working Group to provide free peer-reviewed
  59. portable libraries to the C++ community.&nbsp; An additional objective is to
  60. establish &quot;existing practice&quot; and provide reference implementations so
  61. that the Boost libraries are suitable for eventual standardization. Indeed, the
  62. explicit intent is to propose many of these libraries for inclusion in the C++
  63. Standard Library.</p>
