In continuation to my last post, I have updated the project status in Sourceforge and checked in the initial code. You can checkout the code using: svn co https://libtaskq.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/libtaskq libtaskq This currently builds with SUN Studio compiler on OpenSolaris so you need to have that installed. The TODO file contains the initial list of features/ideas that I had in mind - more suggestions are welcome. This can potentially be developed into a powerful parallel programming library. One immediate task is to port it to Linux using POSIX threads. To re-state the obvious, participation is welcome.
