POCO has an active user and contributing community, please visit our web site, forum and blog. Answers to POCO-related questions can also be found on Stack Overflow.
In regards to Boost, in spite of some functional overlapping, POCO is best thought of as a Boost complement (rather than replacement). Side-by-side use of Boost and POCO is a very common occurence.
