Hello,

The boost home page says:

"We aim to establish "existing practice" and provide reference implementations
so that Boost libraries are suitable for eventual standardization. Ten Boost
libraries are already included in the C++ Standards Committee's Library
Technical Report (TR1) and will be in the new C++0x Standard now being
finalized. C++0x will also include several more Boost libraries in addition to
those from TR1. More Boost libraries are proposed for TR2."

Now that the standard is final we should change this. What I think people
would like to see is which boost libraries are reflected in the standard and
how those standard ones differ from the boost ones. I know the boost ones
have to be more feature rich than the standard ones because the boost ones
are continuously being extended and the standard ones are locked in stone.

Unfortunately that's all I really know. Now, I realize probably everyone who
actually knows this information is probably busier than I so I need to be the
one that actually makes the time to figure it out amd create a draft of the
new information. Would it be possible for one of you to give me a list of all
the boost libraries that are reflected in the new standard?

Jerry
