Hi Everyone,

The review hasn't started yet, but I think there is no harm in starting the
discussion earlier.

The Fiscal Sponsorship Proposal from C++ Alliance has the following
statement.

At the C++Now conference in 2024, the Foundation launched a competing
> library collection called the Beman Project, describing it as “a new
> initiative separate from Boost that gets back to its original purpose of
> improvements to the standard library.”

Could perhaps directors of the Boost Foundation comment on their
affiliation with the Beman Project?

The reason I ask is that my perception of the Beman project, given the
scarce information about it online, and the observation that C++ proposal
authors prefer to avoid Boost, is "Boost doesn't work, let's start
something new".

Regards,
&rzej;
