+<p>We need experienced review managers. Please take a look at the list
+of libraries in need of managers and check out their descriptions. In
+general review managers are active boost participants or library
+contributors. If you can serve as review manager for any of them,
+email Ron Garcia or John Phillips, &quot;garcia at cs dot indiana dot edu&quot;
+and &quot;jphillip at capital dot edu&quot; respectively.</p>
+<p>A link to this report will be posted to www.boost.org.
+If you would like us to make any modifications or additions to this
+report before we do that, please email Ron or John.</p>
+<p>If you're library author and plan on submitting a library for review
+in the next 3-6 months, send Ron or John a short description of your
+library and we'll add it to the Libraries Under Construction below.
+We know that there are many libraries that are near completion, but we
+have hard time keeping track all of them. Please keep us informed
+about your progress.</p>

+exception classes from having to consider what data needs to be

+able to make sense of what went wrong.</p>
+<p class="last">When the exception class is used, arbitrary values can be stored
+in any exception. This can be done directly in the
+throw-expression, or at a later time as the exception object
+propagates up the call stack. The ability to add data to any
+exception object after it has been thrown is important, because
+often some of the information needed to handle an exception is
+unavailable at the time of the throw.</p>

+this library.</li>
+<li>Performance. The state machine infrastructure should not be
+very time and memory-consuming in order to be applicable in
+more use cases.</li>
+<li>Extensibility. A developer may want to add more states to an
+existing state machine. A developer should also be able to
+specify additional transitions and events for the machine with

+centrality, mean geodesic distance, eccentricity, and clustering
+coefficients.</li>
+<li>An algorithm for visiting all cycles in a directed graph (Tiernan's
+from 1970ish). It works for undirected graphs too, but reports cycles
+twice (one for each direction).</li>
+<li>An algorithm for visiting all the cliques a graph (Bron&amp;Kerbosch).
+Works for both directed and undirected.</li>
+<li>Derived graph measures radius and diameter (from eccentricity) and
+girth and circumference (from Tiernan), and clique number (from
+Bron&amp;Kerbosch).</li>
+<li>An exterior_property class that helps hides some of the weirdness
+with exterior properties.</li>
+<li>runtime and compile-time tests for the new algorithms.</li>
+<li>a substantial amount of documentation</li>
+<li>Graph cores, implemented by David Gleich (&#64;Stanford University)</li>
+<li>Deterministic graph generators - capable of creating or inducing
+specific types of graphs over a vertex set (e.g., star graph, wheel
+graph, prism graph, etc). There are several other specific types that
+could be added to this, but I haven't had the time just yet.</li>
