function reference- and member function pointer types.</p>

<p>We need experienced review managers. Please take a look at
|
|
the list of libraries in need of managers and check out their
|
|
descriptions. If you can serve as review manager for any of
|
|
them, email Ron Garcia or Tom Brinkman "garcia at cs dot indiana dot edu"
|
|
and "reportbase at gmail dot com" respectively.</p>
|
|
<p>A link to this report will be posted to www.boost.org.
|
|
If you would like us to make any modifications or additions to this
|
|
report before we do that, please email Ron or Tom.</p>
|
|
<p>If you're library author and plan on submitting a library for review
|
|
in the next 3-6 months, send Ron or Tom a
|
|
short description of your library and we'll add it to the
|
|
Libraries Under Construction below. We know that there are many
|
|
libaries that are near completion, but we have hard time keeping
|
|
track all of them. Please keep us informed about your progress.</p>
