-The stdcxx (pronounced "standard C++ library", not S-T-D-C-X-X)
-project is the <a href="http://www.roguewave.com/";>Rogue Wave
-Sofware</a> implementation of the C++ Standard Library, version 4.1.0,
-donated to the <a href="http://www.apache.org";>Apache Software
-Foundation</a> (ASF) in summer 2005 and currently undergoing
-incubation in the Apache <a
-href="http://incubator.apache.org/";>Incubator</a>.
+The stdcxx project (pronounced "standard C++ library", not
+S-T-D-C-X-X) is a collection of algorithms, containers, iterators, and

+as C++ classes, templates, and functions essential for writing C++

<p>
-The C++ Standard Library is a collection of algorithms, containers,
-iterators, and other fundamental components of every piece of
-software, designed and implemented as C++ classes, templates, and
-functions essential for writing C++ programs.
+The goal of the Apache C++ Standard Library project is to provide a
+free implementation of the ISO/IEC 14882 international standard for
+C++ that enables source code portability and consistent behavior of
+programs across all major hardware implementations, operating systems,
+and compilers, open source and commercial alike. An additional goal is
+to achieve maximum implementation efficiency on each platform by
+taking advantage of platform-specific high-performance facilities and
+features which are often unique to the type of hardware, the operating
+system or the compiler.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+
+As the starting point for future efforts, in summer 2005 <a
+class="external" href="http://www.roguewave.com/";>Rogue Wave
+Software</a> has contributed its commercial implementation of the C++
+Standard Library to the Apache stdcxx project, a proven code base that
+has been shipping for over a decade and is among the most widely used
+cross-platform implementations of the library.
+
</p>
<p>
-A number of excellent design and programming books describe the C++
-Standard Library in an approachable way (see the <a
-href="">References</a> section). In addition, besides the required <a
-href="http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/stdcxx/trunk/doc/stdlibref/";>Class

-extensive <a
-href="http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/stdcxx/trunk/doc/stdlibug/";>User
-Guide</a> complete with tutorials and example programs. That being
-said, the ultimate reference to the C++ Standard Library is, of
-course, the C++ Standard itself (and to a smaller extent, also the C
-Standard). An electronic copy of the most recent version of the C++
-and C standards can be obtained from the <a class="external"

+required of all newly accepted projects until a further review
+indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making
+process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful
+ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection
+of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that
