As you know there are currently three Boost mailing lists:

Boost - the discussion list for Boost library developers

Boost-Users - the discussion list for Boost library users

Boost-Announce - for library review and release announcements

But we feel the need for an additional list. This list, Boost-Interest, will be an announcement list for items of interest to members of the Boost community. We see this as a low volume, moderated list on which commercial announcements are acceptable if relevant.

We have written a proposed charter (below), but we invite comments and volunteers to moderate this list.

Boost-Interest: Proposed Charter

Boost-Interest is a moderated mailing list of announcements of interest to the Boost community. On topic messages will include announcements of books, magazine articles, papers, talks, seminars, products, tools, events, or conferences on advanced uses of C++, generic/generative/meta-programming, and, of course, the Boost libraries. Off topic will be discussions of any kind and job postings.

If you are have comments on this list or its charter please send them to either or both Doug and Jon (addresses below). Also contact us if you are interested in moderating this list.

Please do not ask for subscription information yet. We will announce

This sounds like a good idea to me. I understand the ban on discussions but why the ban on job postings? Particularly as the list will be moderated and agency spew could be > /dev/null'd? - cdr "Jon Kalb" wrote in message news:B9D5A28C.89A5%kalb@LibertySoft.com... details

when we know them.
