Hi,

I just wanted to share, potentially useful for the Boost and C++ community,
libraries and ask if anyone would be willing to become a Review Manager for
any of them?

[boost-ext] (https://github.com/boost-ext) is a collection of C++ libraries
with aspirations to be included in Boost. Libraries can be characterized by:
* Modern C++ (>= C++14)
* Header/Single Module only
* No dependencies

ATM, [boost::ext] consists of four core libraries:

* DI - Dependency Injection Library
    overview:
      standard: C++14
      single header with no dependencies (neither STL nor Boost is required)
      release: 1.2.0 (first release - 2014)
      key features:
        - supports macro-free constructor injection
        - supports templates injection
        - quick compilation-times
        - highly optimized code generation
    try it online: https://godbolt.org/z/5qTKhf
    source code: https://github.com/boost-ext/di
    documentation: https://boost-ext.github.io/di/

* SML - State Machine Library
    overview:
      standard: C++14
      single header with no dependencies (neither STL nor Boost is required)
      release: 1.1.4 (first release - 2016)
      key features:
        - much faster compilation-times than Boost.MSM (up to 60x faster)
        - highly optimized and customizable code generation
        - suitable for embedded systems
    try it online: https://godbolt.org/z/y99L50
    source code: https://github.com/boost-ext/sml
    documentation: https://boost-ext.github.io/sml/

* UT - Unit Testing Framework
    overview:
      standard: C++20
      single header with no dependencies (STL required)
      release: 1.1.8 (first release - 2019)
      key features:
        - macro-free
        - minimal boilerplate
        - fast compilation-times and execution
    try it online: https://godbolt.org/z/Jqb5Ye
    source code: https://github.com/boost-ext/ut
    documentation: https://boost-ext.github.io/ut

* TE - Run-time polymorphism (type erasure) library
    overview:
      standard: C++17
      single header with no dependencies (STL required)
      release: -
      key features:
        - simple interface
        - highly optimized code generation
    try it online: https://godbolt.org/z/xY9MEq
    source code: https://github.com/boost-ext/te
    documentation: https://github.com/boost-ext/te

All libraries (except TE) were successfully deployed in the production
systems.
Some, such as DI and SML are used by well known/big IT companies as well.

If anyone is interested in becoming a Review Manager for any of
the libraries, I'd really appreciate it and I'll more than happy to address
any issues/requests before the review as well as help with any
process-related tasks.

Thank you very much,
-Kris
