Re: [Boost-users] Re: The Boost Community

Maybe someone could convince the boost.org webmaster to due a redirect for us? Something like: http://www.boost.org/wiki I also think that adding a link to the wiki somewhere in the first 1/3 of the main Boost page would increase traffic immensely. On 5/4/05, Jon Kalb wrote:

From my own personal view I think the main answer to this question is lack of visibility. So a related question is why isn't the wiki as visible as it should? Users in this thread already mentioned that they were unaware of the existence of the wiki.

We could change the configuration of the footer for messages sent to this list to include the wiki's URL.

Could be something like:

______________________________________________________________ Boost-users@lists.boost.org http://boost.org http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-users http://www.crystalclearsoftware.com/cgi-bin/boost_wiki/wiki.pl

I'm not crazy about adding more text to the footer and I'm not certain that anyone actually ever *reads* the footer, but perhaps it would raise the visibility of the wiki. (I wish the URL wasn't so long.)
