Hi all,

The review of Vicente Botet Escriba's Conversion library starts this Saturday August 20 and continues through August 29.

This library provides a general system for type-to-type conversion. As such, it can be thought of either as a substitute for overloading static_cast, or as an alternative to lexical_cast when the intermediate conversion to text is not wanted.

The code is in the sandbox:
http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/conversion/

And the docs are here:
http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/conversion/libs/conversion_ext/doc/html/index.html

I'll send out a formal announcement when the review begins, but I wanted to send out this reminder because participation in summer months tends to be somewhat low. 

Your review and/or discussion would be greatly appreciated. As always, please post to the main Boost list if possible, or the boost-users list, or you can send your review directly to the Review Managers.

Thanks,
Gordon Woodhull, Review Manager
Espen Harlinn, Review Manager Assistant
