<p>There is a culture associated with Boost, aimed at encouraging high quality libraries by a process of discussion and refinement. Some libraries get past community review in less than two years from first concept, but most take longer, sometimes a lot longer. Five to ten years to get a library past review and into Boost is not unheard of, and you should prepare yourself for the personal investment required.</p>
<p>Potential library submitters should also be careful to publicize, canvas for, and gauge interest in their library, ideally before beginning it, but certainly before submitting it for review. Even a superbly designed library can fail review if there isn't enough interest in the subject matter; We can only review libraries with enough appeal to form a viable peer review. Ensuring that enough people are interested in your potential library goes a long way to ensure that.</p>

There are many places to publicize and canvas for a library. The <ahref="https://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost">Boost developers' mailing list</a> ought to be your first stop in gauging interest in a possible new C++ library. Be prepared to pivot your design and focus until your proposed library finds traction. Other places useful for gauging interest in a library might be <ahref="https://www.reddit.com/r/cpp/">Reddit/r/cpp</a>.

<p>A message to the Boost developers mailing list might be as simple as "Is there any interest in a library which solves Traveling Salesperson problems in linear time?"</p>

When you feel that your library is ready for entry into Boost, you need to find at least one member (but preferably several) of the Boost community who is willing to publicly endorse your library for entry into Boost. A simple method of achieving this is to post to the <ahref="https://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost">Boost developers' mailing list</a> a short description of your library, links to its github and documentation, and a request for endorsements.

<p>It is expected that those who endorse a library for review will have performed at least a cursory check of the library's suitability for Boost in terms of documentation, fit with the rest of Boost and usefulness. A public endorsement of a library for review means that from an initial glance, they believe that the library has a reasonable chance to be accepted during a formal review. The expectation is that these endorsers will themselves review of the library during formal review period, though this is not binding.</p>
