We need experienced review managers. Please take a look at the list of libraries in need of managers and check out their descriptions. In general review managers are active boost participants or library contributors. If you can serve as review manager for any of them, email Ron Garcia or John Phillips, "garcia at cs dot indiana dot edu" and "jphillip at capital dot edu" respectively.
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 John.
If you're library author and plan on submitting a library for review in the next 3-6 months, send Ron or John a short description of your library and we'll add it to the Libraries Under Construction below. We know that there are many libraries that are near completion, but we have hard time keeping track all of them. Please keep us informed about your progress.

| Description: | The built in C/C++ switch statement is very efficient. Unfortunately, unlike a chained if/else construct there is no easy way to use it when the number of cases depends on a template parameter. The Switch library addresses this issue. |

| Description: | A programmable lexical analyser generator inspired by 'flex'. Like flex, it is programmed by the use of regular expressions and outputs a state machine as a number of DFAs utilising equivalence classes for compression. |

| Description: | Used properly, logging is a very powerful tool. Besides aiding debugging/testing, it can also show you how your application is used. The Boost Logging Library allows just for that, supporting a lot of scenarios, ranging from very simple (dumping all to one destination), to very complex (multiple logs, some enabled/some not, levels, etc). It features a very simple and flexible interface, efficient filtering of messages, thread-safety, formatters and destinations, easy manipulation of logs, finding the best logger/filter classes based on your application's needs, you can define your own macros and much more! |

| Description: | Flyweights are small-sized handle classes granting constant access to shared common data, thus allowing for the management of large amounts of entities within reasonable memory limits. Boost.Flyweight makes it easy to use this common programming idiom by providing the class template flyweight<T>, which acts as a drop-in replacement for const T. |

| Description: | The Dataflow library provides generic support for data producers, consumers, and connections between the two. It also provides layers for several specific dataflow mechanisms, namely Boost.Signals, VTK data/display pipelines, and plain pointers. The Dataflow library came out of the Signal Network GSoC project, mentored by Doug Gregor. |
| Status: | I am polishing the Dataflow library for submission, and am expecting to add it to the review queue in the next couple of months. I am currently ironing out some faults in the design of the library, filling in missing features, and testing it on / adapting it to different dataflow mechanisms (currently VTK and soon Boost.Iostreams). As soon as I'm pretty sure that things are going the right way, I'll submit this to the review queue while I do the finishing touches. |

| Description: | The Constrained Value library contains class templates useful for creating constrained objects. The simplest example of a constrained object is hour. The only valid values for an hour within a day are integers from the range [0, 23]. With this library, you can create a variable which behaves exactly like int, but does not allow for assignment of values which do not belong to the allowed range. The library doesn't focus only on constrained objects that hold a value belonging to a specified range (i.e., bounded objects). Virtually any constraint can be imposed using appropriate predicate. You can specify what happens in case of assignment of an invalid value, e.g. an exception may be thrown or the value may be adjusted to meet the constraint criterions. |
| Status: | I'm planning to finish it in 1-2 months. |
Please let us know of any libraries you are currently developing that you intend to submit for review.
