<h1>Welcome to Boost.org!</h1>
<p>The Boost web site provides free, peer-reviewed, C++ <a href="libs/libraries.htm">libraries</a>.
The emphasis is on portable libraries which work well with the C++ Standard
Library.</p>
<p><a href="more/lib_guide.htm">Library Requirements and Guidelines</a> and <a href="more/submission_process.htm">Library
Submission Process</a> provides basic information for library authors.</p>
<p>If you are interested in who writes the libraries and maintains the web site,
check out <a href="people/people.htm">people</a>.</p>
<p>The <a href="more/faq.htm">FAQ</a> answers questions we hope someone will
bother to ask.</p>
<p>You may <a href="boost_all.zip">download all of boost</a> as a single ZIP
file. Click here for <a href="libs/libraries.htm#Download">download</a>
details. The source code is also publicly accessible in a CVS <a href="http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/?cvsroot=boost">repository</a>.</p>
<p>See <a href="status/compiler_status.html">Compiler Status</a> to find out what
library works with which compiler.</p>
<h2><a name="Mailing List">Membership</a></h2>
<p>If you are interested in Boost, please join our mailing list for
discussions of both technical and site-related issues, and to participate in
formal reviews of proposed libraries. Discussions can be received via email in summary or in full, or
viewed online via a web browser. We use the <a href="http://www.egroups.com">eGroups</a>
list hosting service. Subscribe or unsubscribe by sending email to <a href="mailto:boost-subscribe@egroups.com">boost-subscribe@egroups.com</a>

respectively, or go to the <a href="http://www.egroups.com/list/boost">mailing list home page</a>. Dave Abrahams,
Beman Dawes, and Jens Maurer are the list
moderators.</p>
<p>Boost also has a low-volume <a href="http://www.egroups.com/list/boost-announce">announce-only
mailing list</a> which announces upcoming formal reviews and software releases.</p>
<p>For mailing list members only, preliminary libraries under discussion are
available from the eGroups <a href="http://www.egroups.com/files/boost/">Files
section</a> (formerly called the "vault").</p>
