Hi Ion,

I am new to boost but I think the expert level ideas are the
foundation on which to build real blocks and this probably will
accelerate soon

network
-----------
the future boost::aio will be a big advancement for the app developer

threads/processes
---------------------------
You should ping Kevlin and see if he can help. You're alreadly pushing
this with your library.

databases
---------------
This probably needs a reflection library first. What I would find
useful is using the sql db definition as a file to parse and then
generate automatically all the db interfaces

GUI
------
First you need a solid c++ graphics library like vector-agg. I will
ping the author

Web
------

I'd like to see a web applications library on top of boost::aio . I am
trying to work on this !
