Boosr review of the 'convert' library starts tomorrow May 21.
The review of the Convert library starts tomorrow Monday, May 12 and goes through Wednesday May 21. The Convert library builds on the boost::lexical_cast original design and experience and takes those conversion/transformation-related ideas further. * to be applicable to a wider range of conversion-related use-cases, * to provide a more flexible, extendible and configurable type-conversion framework. The Convert library can be cloned from GitHub at https://github.com/yet-another-user/boost.convert. The library follows the modular-boost format. Just clone it to modular-boost/libs in the 'convert' subdirectory and run 'b2 headers' in order to create a link to its header file directory in the modular-boost/boost subdirectory. The library comes with documentation in its top-level index.html or doc/html/index.html file. The library is by Vladimir Batov and is a second reiteration with a greater focus of his library that was reviewed in the past. I am Edward Diener and I am again serving as the review manager of the library. Comments, questions, and reviews will all be welcome for the library. Please try to sum up your review by answering these questions: What is your evaluation of the design? What is your evaluation of the implementation? What is your evaluation of the documentation? What is your evaluation of the potential usefulness of the library? Did you try to use the library? With what compiler? Did you have any problems? How much effort did you put into your evaluation? A glance? A quick reading? In-depth study? Are you knowledgeable about the problem domain? And finally: Do you think the library should be accepted as a Boost library? As always whether you do or do not feel that the library should be accepted into Boost please specify any changes you would like to see for the library to be better in your estimation.
Unfortunately, there is no way to read the HTML documentation from github. Is there another place online where I can read it? I'll get the sources later but it would be easier.

There is. Vladimir has made his documentation viewable at: http://yet-another-user.github.io/boost.convert/doc/html/index.html Glen

Glen taught me how to do that. :-) It's not exactly straightforward IMO but the results are worth it. That fat blue "Documentation" heading on the main https://github.com/yet-another-user/boost.convert project page is actually a link to that documentation. V.
