So people developing code with an eye towards submission to Boost may choose to do their development in the sandbox, but this is not required, right?
Correct.
Have most submissions spent time in the sandbox, or is it equally common for somebody to submit something they'd been working on their own completely independent of Boost?
I'm not really sure of the statistics, sorry. You can browse the sandbox over the web to get an idea.
I'll be covering all this in my SD West talk. Unfortunately, as you know, our talks overlap ;-)
Which I truly regret, but that notwithstanding, is this information available at Boost somewhere? If not, I think it would be helpful for more people than just me.
Agreed; we're reworking the site and I'll try to get it in. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
