Hi. I just thought I would post a little update on what's happpening with 
the Unicode library I started a thread about a little while ago. (I 
apologize for not replying as much as I should have done in that thread, but 
I have been completely buried in work lately, and simply haven't had the 
time. =\ )

My college (HiG) has now basically approved the project as a bachelors 
thesis (at least for the time being), and it is looking very likely that we 
will go through with it. There's one little snag though. HiG would like to 
have one person from the boost community functioning as a "contact person" 
for the project. I'm not sure exactly what kind of workload that imply for 
such a person (I will try to find out very soon), but I am fairly certain it 
will just be a matter of answering a few e-mails from them from time to 
time. After all, the main development will be done in collaboration with the 
community as a whole, and not that single person. What I basically want to 
know is, would anyone out there like to take on that resposibillity? I don't 
think this is an absolute requirement for final approval, but it sure would 
help! =)

Let me just finish off by thanking for all comments you guys made in my 
first thread. I'm in the process of compiling a list of all the things you 
pointed out there, and I will most certainly take everything said into 
concideration when the development (hopefully) gets on the way.

As always... Any comments are welcome! ;)

Regards
