getting started with Boost or its individual libraries. Feel free to post
both "newbie" and more challenging questions, but please check first to
see if there's an appropriate < a href = "#projects" > Project-Specific< / a >

< h2 > < a name = "main" > Boost< / a > developers mailing list (also available via
newsgroup)< / h2 >
< p > This is the main Boost mailing list. It is high volume (over
1000 messages per month), very technical, and oriented toward Boost
library developers. It is also read by many other members interested in
watching the Boost library development process. Virtually all Boost
decisions, major or minor, technical or otherwise, are reached via public
discussion on this mailing list. It is where the formal reviews of
2005-02-28 01:28:24 +08:00
proposed libraries take place. Subscribe or unsubscribe at < a
