Stdcxx status report for the calendar quarter ending in 8/2006:

This is the fourth quarterly report for stdcxx.

The stdcxx  community is currently in  the process of voting  in a new
committer,  Farid  Zaripov. Farid  has  contributed several  important
pieces of the test driver and recently has has been enhancing the test
suite in  the area  of containers with  focus on exception  safety. In
addition we are hoping to  put Farid's extensive Windows experience to
good use when enhancing our Windows build infrastructure.

The  team continues  to make  progress  migrating the  Rogue Wave  C++
Standard Library test harness and test suite to the Apache stdcxx test
driver: a total of 117 of the 329 tests have been migrated so far.

The plan for  the next three months is to  continue migrating the test
suite, extend our support to  include additional platforms such as IBM
z/OS, Cray UNICOS, and others,  and to enhance our implementation with
the C++ Standard Library  extensions described in the Technical Report
on C++ Library  Extensions. Recently we have also  been in discussions
with  Tuscany developers  about  their adoption  of  stdcxx.  We  look
forward to working with the team to make this as smooth as possible.

Finally, we  plan to continue  increase the visibility of  the project
and attract more developers to the project and to further increase the
diversity of the community.
