I think there is a distinction that needs to be made between 1) attracting folks to Boost 2) helping out those who are giving it a shot for the first time and know nothing about it. I discovered it by recommendation from a colleague, and think it's the best way to advertise. That being said, (2) is still and issue for me... I have found the mailing list archives proved helpful, but took an inordinate amount of time to search through. Is it possible to take threads in the mailing lists that look something like this: - A: I have problem XYZ - B-Z: Oh, you need to do this - A: That fixed it, thanks! and convert them to a FAQ or additional documentation? There is a *ton* of useful information in the mailing lists, an organic conglomeration of docs that are not based on what the writer of the library thinks you'll need to know but rather what experience has taught us people want to know. The problem is it's a pain to parse through. Even if that's too much work, a FAQ/tips and tricks/searching hints on how to get the most out of the data that is already in existence would have been a big help. Blessings, Foster -- Foster T.
