I'd like to second what Stefan said. Before I started using boost (only a couple of months back) I'd seen references to it in many articles in the C++ User Journal not to mention a few C++ related books.

Maybe that's a significant difference wrt to the rest of the C++ community: Many programmers are not subscribed to CUJ and do not buy intermediate/advanced books (entry-level references do not usually list Boost.) I'd like a website that holds the attention of the casual comer. A newbie with just a passing knowledge of what Boost is might be scared by the contents of boost.org and never return back; a more friendly site, with forums and stuff, is a more agreeable place to hang around and eventually decide to try Boost for real.

After starting on a new C++ project I realised I needed some of the libraries mentioned and went straight for them. So it was not so much a case of "do I need boost?" but "where do I find the bits I need now, and how do I use them?"

I don't think people come by accident to the boost page(and they definitely don't to the community page) and need to be convinced that they need boost. they look for a specific library/class and they've been told, "boost has that". later on they look what also is in boost. at least that is how it worked for me.

so a community page(especially user comments in documentation) helps a new user to get into it. it is imho not the function of a community page to raise interest. (and I think it can't).

and I think the best thing you can do to bring a new user into the community thing is to have documentation and user comments on the same page(see php). because what a user definitely does is look at the documentation when he's found the library he's looking for.
