I updated more/formal_review_process.htm yesterday, but Thomas hasn't had a
chance yet to review the procedures yet. So they are subject to change.

Fast Track Reviews

To qualify for fast track review:

* The component must be small.
* The technique must be already in use in Boost libraries and the new
component provides a common implementation.
* A full Boost-conformant implementation is available in the sandbox.
* The Review Wizard determines that the proposal qualifies for fast track
review.

Procedure:

* The Boost Review Wizard posts a review announcement to the main Boost
developer's list. The review period will normally last for 5 days. No two
fast track reviews will run in parallel.
* Fast track reviews may run during full reviews, though generally this is
to be avoided.
* After the review period ends, the submitter will post a review summary
containing proposed changes to the reviewed implementation.
* The Review Wizard will accept or reject the proposed library and proposed
changes.
* After applying the proposed changes, the component is checked into CVS
like any other library.
