And thanks to Beman and Dave for coming all the way to New Jersey 
to talk to us, in the middle of some truly awful weather!

I don't have very much to say right now except to echo Beman: Andy,
Bjarne, John, and I are very interested in helping the C++ community,
we're especially interested in library design, and we think that freely
avaliable C++ libraries are important.  The work that BOOST does in
promoting the development and use of high-quality libraries is valuable, 
and we plan to work with BOOST.  

As some of you have probably noticed, I've been lurking on this list
for a while and posting occasionally.  I plan to increase my 
participation.

We're working on a few projects now that we plan to submit to BOOST,
and, as Dave says, we're also thinking about other things that could
be useful to the C++ community in other ways.
