Hi,

only my two cents.

Yes, definitely. We should only review one library at a time.

As the future library interface is already standardized, we should require 
that the library does conform to this interface. After such a library is 
successfully reviewed in a next step additions could be considered.

Is my impression correct that one of the authors is not on this list 
anymore? If so, does it make sense to review this particular library?

On the other side, I would like to see that the authors merge their efforts 
if possible.

Generally, if we review libraries that are already standardized, I would 
prefere that we do not review the interface but the documentation and 
implementation of the contribution. What I try to say, is that IMHO a 'new' 
library does need quite a different discussion and review than an already 
existing library interface. In the last case some agreement about the 
interface has already found and it is the question whether boost will 
support such an interface or not.

Best,
Johannes
