+<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, "garcia at cs dot indiana dot edu"
+and "jphillip at capital dot edu" 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>

+Bron&Kerbosch).</li>

+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 (@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>
