I happened to be the moderator "on duty" when I got an announcement message for U++ submitted to comp.lang.c++.moderated yesterday. To do due diligence, I checked out the URL given in the message, which led me here. I haven't had time to grok all of U++, but I hope to find a good use for it. The whole idea behind U++ appeals to me.
Some newbie questions, though... Does U++ had a TDD library (such as CPPUnit)? I see that there is an initiative to compose a book about U++. Is the documentation in a form that would make extraction of a book/course notes/tutorial/etc possible from a single body of documentation? I co-authored a course with Dr. Oberg (of Object Innovations), which we did in XML so that generation of course material, tutorial, and book was just a matter of which way we parsed it. Something very much like that should be possible with CSS.
One last one: It isn't obvious how to enter a photo to use as my avatar. Do I need to use a URL where it says "image"? UPDATE: I found it, and uploaded my photo. Now awaiting approval, I guess. The photo is really me, gray beard and all.
I'll try not to stay a newbie long

So far there seems to be bazaar/UnitTest++.

More or less. I believe the possible answer to this question is this website, which is (except the forum) regenerated each night from U++ documentation sources (using U++ code, there is 'uppbox/uppweb' package that does just that).
There is an initiative to generate the book, I believe it should not be that hard, using similar process. We can certainly output topics (U++ doc unit) to pdf just as easily as to html.
Bigger problem is that docs unfortunately still lag behind, way too many parts are still not covered.

I'm did use bazaar/UnitTest++ to work in TDD way on some small CLI tools. Didn't try it for GUI, UnitTest++ as is will be surely workable base for that, but for final GUI testing you would need probably to employ some bigger gun, like Selenium or similar.
But for CLI tools it's ready to go, tested on real world projects.
