I had occasion to look into the thread documentation after many years. It was in the course of explaining the benefits of using boost libraries to a programmer who was unfamiliar with them.
Somehow I remember the old documentation as being much more helpful. I think I remember tutorials and a faq explaining things why semaphores weren't inlcuded etc. I remember finding this to be very helpful. My original interest in boost was sparked by reading this documentation.
The current system seems more complete and the documention more formal and correct. But it needs tutorials which explain how to use the library to solve problems and to explain the examples. It also needs a section to explain the design decisions.

I'm more concerned about the outstanding tickets with Boost.Thread (see my post on the main list). - -- Bryce Lelbach aka wash http://groups.google.com/group/ariel_devel -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkzAlWcACgkQO/fqqIuE2t4jSgCeMJA6ZPV8itL9K0c3c2T1QYSX 1W4AoKC5n0GWyqPY4iFLE7Y418M0nRsW =Z3rx -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
