As always, here are some questions you might want to answer in your  
review(s):

What is your evaluation of the design(s)?
What is your evaluation of the implementation(s)?
What is your evaluation of the documentation?
What is your evaluation of the potential usefulness of the library(s)?
Did you try to use the library? With what compiler(s)? Did you have
any problems?
How much effort did you put into your evaluation(s)? A glance? A quick
reading? In-depth study?
Are you knowledgeable about the problem domain?
Do you think the libraries should be accepted into Boost as-is or
should they be merged?

Apparently, there has been various discussions about these two
libraries last six months.
The authors will need to bring us up to date as to why they want their

[Review] UUID review results

Hi all,

Some while ago we have had a lively discussion during the review of Andy
Thompkin's UUID library. I counted 11 votes, 10 'yes' votes and one 'no'
vote. IMHO the 'no' vote has been superseded by the followup discussion and
all issues have been resolved.

Almost all reviewers stated the UUID library to be very useful. Given the
overwhelming number of 'yes' votes the UUID library is accepted for
inclusion into Boost. Before inclusion into the Boost SVN Andy will need to
fix a couple of minor issues as discussed during the review, some of which
are:

- POD-ness
- lexical_cast
- default construction

Congratulations to Andy for his effort related to pushing the UUID library
forward. I hope to see active development and maintenance of this library in
the future.

Regards Hartmut
Review Manager
