CLHEP is a broadly based collaboration, including developers at
CERN, FNAL, SLAC and elsewhere, to provide core C++ class libraries
for the use of the HENP community. Recently, the collaboration
aspect of CLHEP has been rejuvenated and expanded.
To provide structure for the expanded collaboration, the developers
have agreed to a consensus-based organization centered around an
"editors distribution list." An overview of the new structure, including
the mechanism for ensuring CLHEP remains responsive to the needs
of HENP users and other developers, will be presented.
To guide directions of development, the nature of CLHEP has been
clarified: The "core" CLHEP is structured as a set of packages which
must have freely available sources and must be independent of external
packages. These must work on at least a large fraction of the platforms in
general use. The selection of these packages is driven by those needs and
timetables of the High Energy and Nuclear Physics community which
would not likely be met by code emerging from the general computing
community.
Coordination of CLHEP with other packages developed in HENP will be
discussed, and recent and planned extensions to CLHEP will be presented.
