i see a *lot* of rejected / unfinished libraries that use the boost name with the intentions of one day becoming a boost library. doesn't this affect the brand strength associated with the boost name?
i would have thought that it wouldn't be ok to name your library a boost library before it is officially accepted, but that doesn't seem to be the case? or is it the case but it isn't / can't be enforced?
I don't feel it is a problem provided it is clearly stated that it is not yet an accepted Boost library. All proposed libraries that I have seen have a note warning this. Many also have a 'Proposed for Boost' logo (recommended) rather than the 'official' Boost logo. Paul --- Paul A. Bristow Prizet Farmhouse Kendal UK LA8 8AB +44 (0) 1539 561830
