Library reviews in 2005:</p>

<ul class="simple">

<li>12 Libraries were reviewed</li>

<li>8 Libraries were accepted</li>

<li>1 Library (Function Types) was accepted pending a

mini-review</li>

<li>2 Libraries were rejected</li>

<li>1 Library has yet to receive a final verdict (ASIO)</li>

<p>Policy Pointer has been removed from the review queue

|

|
|
<p>We need review managers. Please take a look at the list of

libraries in need of managers and check out their descriptions.

If you can serve as review manager for any of them, send one of

us an email.</p>
