IntelliParse

I've started my first SourceForge project named IntelliParse. As the description goes, this is...

A library to parse user-entered form data such as telephone numbers, social security numbers, dates, etc. and intelligently convert them to usable and normalized forms, with country codes, area codes, etc.


I intend for this library to be a cross platform and available on all modern operating systems for the desktop, laptop and smartphone. I'm in the process of deciding on a directory structure, and its taking shape with the answers to this StackOverflow question:


/project //Top level folder

I am planning on using CMake and Subversion.
