Hurray!

I have look at your docs and you are doing a great job (and they are green!!!).
It is very nice to see you have extensive documents at this stage of
the GSoC ( I am GSoCers from last year, so we are colleagues :D ).

We really need you here.
If you want to look at the last iteration of the new style, it is here:

You can choose a html based documentation and offer your help
translating it to the author. I have done this with my translations.

Some of the libs are:
* compatibility
* crc
* dynamic_bitset
* integer
* pool
* random
* rational
* smart_ptr
* timer
* tokenizer

Send the author a private email to him. Try to make it simple, some
authors thinks that it will take them a long time learning Quickbook.
We have to show them that it is very easy, and specially, that it is
fun :). Tell him that you will be there to help after the translation
is done.

Tell us which library you choose so we avoid effort duplication.

Thanks a lot for jumping in!
Best regards
Matias
