Hi,

I'm interested, 

I added on the Wish List a Constraint Programming library long time ago.
Happy some one is volunteering for that. 

I see as many modern libraries separated in 3 parts:
* Front ends
  * a modern c++ interface usually using expression templates (static)
  * parsing from a textual form (dynamic)
* Core
* Back ends (implementing algorithms or forwarding to existing libraries)

I think this is a large project, and the perimeter should be reduced so you
can have something by the end of the summer, but who knows maybe I'm too
pessimistic.

I hope this will encourage you to define a pragmatic proposal.

Best,
Vicente
