I was referring to this post: http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2008/05/137491.php

I've actually worked on and off on a CGI library for the past 5 years or so myself. I understand, and now that I have a baby I thought my personal learning project would benefit from being integrated with an existing project with similar goals, and boost is the knees.

Will read through the source code and see what time I may be able to commit.

Thanks for the reply.
