Hi,

I joined the list because I saw that there's a compiz+boost+cmake 
project in the works  (very cool).  I'm a boost committer and I'm good 
with cmake.

IMHO this is by far the best Coding Standard for C++:

A great, great book.  Sutter and Alexandrescu have already done all the 
hard work.  Each of the hundred items in the book is about 2 pages long,
which is great for code reviews: you can just tag suspect code with 
comments that mention C++CS numbers, which makes things very efficient, 
and very educational for the reviewee if they are intermediate-level C++ 
coder.  Can't say enough good things.
