Can't we be more imaginative than that? Aren't we all already saturated with acronyms and acronyms and yet more acronyms? There is no policy anyway that forces us to use acronyms in boost. When Spirit was being reviewed, I was a bit afraid that someone would come out and suggest that it be named as BPL. Akkk! Fortunately, no one did. And after all, BPL already stands for boost python library. In the world of computers, it is already a sea of acronyms. IMO, acronyms are ugly! This is my opinion of course. I am entitled to my own opinion right? :-) bicycle-shed-ingly-yrs, -- Joel de Guzman joel at boost-consulting.com http://www.boost-consulting.com http://spirit.sf.net _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
