Again, I refer to boost.org. The project is doing exactly what I proposed, and it has lifted the C++ language to another level. They have practically taken over the language and library development for the new C++ Standard there! So the idea can't be that bad after all.
Boost is a little more structured than what we want, I think. They emphasise good software engineering practices, such as code reviews. For libraries that we want part of the standard, we may want to follow that. For others, we probably won't want to go that far. Cheers, Andrew Bromage
