Josie Lajoie of C++ Report had many excellent columns detailing various
questions before the standards committee, what choices were made, and
why.

Dear all,
I'm looking for material on the history of the
C++ standardization process, the evolution of
the STL, and the like.
Stroustrups book on the evolution of C++ was
written 1994 ... Josuttis writes about two pages
on history (not much) ...
Where can I find additional material?
Thanks,
- Roland

"minutes". You may have to become a member of J16 to
get access to these; I'm not sure what the alternatives
are.
Another possibility would be to research columns of
writers who report on such things in magazines like
Overload, C++ Report and the C/C++ User's Journal.
