Vote Boost Up for SourceForge Project of the Month
Folks, I was just informed that Boost is a top contender for SourceForge's February Project Of The Month. The vote is happening on TwtPoll, here: http://twtpoll.com/7vt4lq It's pretty close, so if you could vote Boost up, it could be good for our profile and our future. Thanks! -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
Hi Dave:
As to me, such polls are made not for calculation of active mail-list
users of the given projects. Even if there is nothing told in rules
(http://is.gd/cQYIrs) about it, it seems the general rule is not to
ask for crowd-voting in external communities. For sure this leaves the
question how one could rightly evaluate unknown products from the list
and does he want to spend his time on it. This poll is dubious.
Regards,
Dmitriy.

Well, the person at sourceforge giving the poll suggested to all contenders that we ask our community to vote the project up, so it's not like we're subverting its intent. -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com

Done. Would have voted for project of the year or decade, too :-)
