| 30 | Almost exactly a year ago, Joel de Guzman asked me to take on the lead maintenance | |
| 31 | of Boost Phoenix and I agreed to do so, not really knowing what I was taking | |
| 32 | on. In the first few months I fixed a lot of the things which could be fixed | |
| 33 | easily, while at the same time learning how to use git to keep things in | |
| 34 | order. Then things got tougher as I started to meet things which are not | |
| 35 | so easy to fix. I also found there were things I did not understand well | |
| 36 | enough. | |
| 37 | </p> | |
| 38 | <p> | |
| 39 | At the end of 2014 I came back to the task anew. In the meantime I have learned | |
| 40 | a lot, particularly about Boost Fusion and Boost Proto which are used a lot | |
| 41 | by Boost Phoenix. I have also learned how to edit the QuickBooks files and | |
| 42 | regenerate them. | |
| 43 | </p> | |
| 44 | <p> | |
| 45 | I have still not solved all the problems in Boost Phoenix. I think I am closing | |
| 46 | in on some of the remaining ones. I now know that some of the problems in | |
| 47 | Phoenix V3 were also present in Phoenix V2. This has changed the approach | |
| 48 | to how to solve them as I know that the problems cannot be in the use of | |
| 49 | Boost Proto as it was not used in V2. | |
| 50 | </p> | |
| 51 | <p> | |
| 52 | I have made further progress during 2015 on understanding what the problems | |
| 53 | are and how to avoid them or work around them. That has given me the confidence | |
| 54 | to explore further applications of the code, which I expect will develop | |
| 55 | a lot in the next few months. | |
| 56 | </p> | |
| 57 | <p> | |
| 58 | I want in this document to share some of what I have been doing and how I | |
| 59 | have solved some of the problems. One reason for doing this is that there | |
| 60 | may be other people who are considering taking on library maintenance of | |
| 61 | a library they did not themselves write. I hope I can make that easier for | |
| 62 | people to do. | |
