Hi, I have been away for work this past month. There is a demand for a proper C++11 threading implementation for Windows using native Windows APIs (post Vista APIs), I have not looked too much into it, nor do I know if the scope is too big or too small for a summer project. Liu Hao has worked on it, and should be familiar with the scope, I have CC'ed him. Never having run any gsoc programs, are there any specific procedures to get it started?
