Hugo's code was a one-person effort. The whole stuff I set up on
http://www.crystalclearsoftware.com/cgi-bin/boost_wiki/wiki.pl?BoostNet is
based on what Hugo and others contributed in the Wiki. This *is* an attempt
to go on with what we have already. Looking at all the discussions going on
here I am not hopeless. The stuff I wrote in this thread was an attempt to
give a summary of the discussions and make some decisions to go on with the
design (as these discussions must lead to something practical of course). I
don't know if this will work in the end. But I don't want to create a
library by myself as I agree that these one-person efforts have proven to
fail.
