Boost.Pool is the subject of a 'make-over' by Boost.Guild.

(This is some of a test-bed for a process of revision of older, perhaps
orphaned, libraries using the relative safety of the sandbox).

In order to permit any modification, the original (hand-written?) html
documentation has been converted to Quickbook (and somewhat revised) at

http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/guild/pool/libs/pool/doc/

You can build the html docs using the jamfile.v2 in the normal way,

but you will probably find it more convenient to go direct to the pdf
version

http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/guild/pool/libs/pool/doc/pool.pdf

This is fairly fully hyperlinked, and includes a reference section using
Doxygen.

Doxygen comments have been added to the header files (from the original html
docs).

(If you are a Doxygen fan, there is also a Doxyfile for generating
Doxygen-style docs
in the /doc/Doxygen/  folder).

We are now considering some better tests, and perhaps some enhancements to
the code.

We'd like input from users about:

1  Things missing or wrong from the docs.  More up to date references?

2  Things missing (or don't work well) from Pool.

3  New things that you would like  (this is not a promise!).

4  Examples of your use.  Perhaps you built some during your development
that could be used?

5  Better tests.

Thanks.

Paul

PS Don't panic - the release version will not be changed without a
mini-review.
