[boost-steering] CMake initiative

2018-11-02 Thread Robert Ramey

Members of the Boost Steering Committee,

I sent this to Jon Kalb and had a phone conversation with him about it. 
He suggested that I run it by some members of the Boost Steering 
Committee.  As I don't have you email addresses, I'm posting here.  Feel 
free to pass it on to your cohorts.


As you might know, I've taken on the task of getting CMake pushed 
through the Boost "process".  Tomorrow is a mile stone date in that 
process - posting a request for submissions meeting a specified set of 
requirements and scope and specifying the rules by which submissions 
will be reviewed.


I've received very little feedback - non of it actually negative, but 
not too much positive either.  (actually, I got some positive feedback 
from boost users!).  In particular, I haven't received any from anyone 
on the board of directors - who issued an edict on the subject a year 
ago.  I'd like to know before I jump in with both feet if someone might 
be inclined to pull the rug out from under me when I do this.  I don't 
think anyone might do this intentionally, but it's possible that no one 
takes a real look at it until it looks like something might actually 
happen. If someone has reservations, I'd much rather hear about this 
before I start really pushing it rather than after,


In other words, is the BOD behind this effort or not.  I would like any 
feedback sooner rather than later as I had originally planned on posting 
this "Requirments and Scope" document on 1 November.
