I am new to boost. I would like to contribute to development. I looked through the libraries and got confused from where to start understanding and reading such a large codebase. Is it that all the libraries are independent of each other and I've to look at only those which I want to work with? Please guide me on how to begin understanding. Thanks! :)

Yes, correct. If you go to http://www.boost.org you see title "Boost C++ Libraries". It means, Boost is a *collection* of libraries covering wide range of areas.
Please guide me on how to begin understanding.
You are the only person that knows what is the area of your interest, then go to http://www.boost.org/libs/ and find library that matches it best, in *your* own opinion. Best regards, -- Mateusz Łoskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net
