= Boost Sandbox =
The Boost Sandbox (housed in the `sandbox` subdirectory of the Subversion repository) contains unreviewed code that is intended to eventually become a part of the Boost libraries. 

== Accessing the Boost Sandbox ==
The Boost Sandbox lives at https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox within the Boost Subversion repository. To access the Boost Sandbox, please refer to the BoostSubversion page. Anyone interesting in working on Boost code is welcome to a sandbox developer account; [mailto:boost-owner-AT-lists.boost.org send your request for access] to the Boost moderators.

== Organization ==
Because there are typically many projects in the sandbox at any one time (in various stages of development), the sandbox should be organized by project. Each project should have its own subdirectory inside `sandbox`. For example, a new XML library would reside in `sandbox/xml`. Inside that project-specific subdirectory, the project should be organized like any other Boost library, with a `boost` subdirectory (for headers) and `libs` subdirectory (for source code, build files, and documentation). Our hypothetical XML project would likely have the following structure:

    sandbox/xml/
       boost/ - Contains xml.hpp, which includes all of the headers from xml/
          xml/ - Contains Boost.XML headers
       libs/
          xml/
            build/ - Contains Jamfiles to build Boost.XML

            doc/ - Contains documentation for Boost.XML

            src/ - Contains Boost.XML compiled source files
    
Many existing projects in the sandbox do not follow this structure, opting to place headers in `sandbox/boost` and supporting files in `sandbox/libs`. We encourage developers to migrate these projects to the project-centric organizational structure.
