* What is your evaluation of the design?
7 out of 10.
* What is your evaluation of the implementation?
8 out of 10.
* What is your evaluation of the documentation?
8 out of 10.
* What is your evaluation of the potential usefulness of the library?
10 out of 10.
* Did you try to use the library? With what compiler?
mingw, cygwin,  gcc, msvc visual studio 2005, and no.
* How much effort did you put into your evaluation?
A quick reading.
* Are you knowledgeable about the problem domain?
Hmm not really.

And finally, every review should answer this question:

* Do you think the library should be accepted as a Boost library?
I do not think it should be accepted, and my only small gripe with it its
how the library is organize. Most boost library have "boost" as the top
folder for organization of jam file and jam.v2...., when I used unordered
library, unordered seems to be like the top folder structure...thats my only
gripe. Its small but it destroys the uniformity of boost library".
Clearer words.. when you unzip boost library. boost is top level structure.
When you unzip unordered library, it is unordered --> boost -->
unordered....
