Hi, 

I have added your library on the LibrariesUnderConstruction wiki page
(https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/LibrariesUnderConstruction#tscb).

The link you done point to the documentation. Could you gibe a link to
download the library?

I think everyone is interested in having an implementation, even a partial
one, of the standard atomic library. There are a lot of internal
implementation on the Boost libraries (SmartPtr, Thread, Task between
others), maybe you can federate this implementation. 

Concerning the Signal/Slot implementation it would be worthwhile to extract
it in a separated one. If the performances you announce are correct, I think
you will have a lot of people interested in.   

Best,
Vicente
