There page need to be completed and surely reworked but this is an starting point.
Please be free to improve the page directly or post your comments or suggestions to this list.
Hopping this goes on the right direction,
Vincente, A few ideas: How will you evaluate that your proposal is actually successful and being followed by the boost developers? Also, check out Daniel Walker's idea in the Boost.Range thread on boost.devel about not having the engineers in charge of their own QA. Finally, please consider the idea of "core" and "new" release cycles, where the components in "core" have much more stringent requirements on how and when they are allowed to change. Finally, do you think it may have been better to start this thread on boost.devel? Regards, Tom
