How about Boost.Quality?

I'm honored that you'd consider me, but I've blown past the (time) limit
I can spend (with real consequences).

Anyone else see where I'm going and want to take this bull by the horns?
Or convince your employer to sponsor my involvement?

I'm encouraged that we have three volunteers in two days from this
mailing list alone. I'd bet we get a bunch more from the User's list if
we put a call out on a regular basis.

I'd like to hash my thoughts out a bit more. I'll do it on my web-site,
but could do it in the boost space if you want.
