Re: Potentially include xproc library in boost?

I think it would make a good standalone library, since it's not concerned
with subprocesses as such, but it's more something like a process manager.
But in order to get it'll need a lot of work, you'll need a lot of work
(e.g. adopting it to the coding standards etc., docs, tests, etc.)

boost has a review process, which you can review here
https://www.boost.org/community/reviews.html

In order for a library to become part of boost, you'll need a review
manager that submits it for review on this mailing list.

I am not sure if the lack of responses to your email indicates little
interest in this library however. I seem to remember one review rejecting
boost.process because it did not have those features, leading me to
conclude that there is some interest. It would be worth finding out how
much though.
