Re: [cpp-netlib-devel] Offer of help

[Michael D. <mi...@mi...>]

I posted a GSoC proposal for the Pion Network Library (libpion) on the  
wiki Doug setup at:

http://www.crystalclearsoftware.com/cgi-bin/boost_wiki/wiki.pl?Google_Summer_Of_Code_2008

Maybe we can make part of this project merging code from the two  
projects together?

Take care,
-Mike
