If your experience was anything like mine, I found GenVoca to be kind 
of hard to understand.  One of the things I've been looking at is 
using a generator as a front end for policy-based design.  You can 
look at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/boost/message/25406 for a 
description.

Generators are going to become more important as people begin 
developing highly configurable libraries.  I agree that they are an 
interesting topic, but from my experience, it can be surprisingly 
hard to explain to someone.  How can we make these concepts more 
tangible to others?  Any ideas?
