The tools used by regression testers and regression reporting, and the tools used by release managers are currently part of the boost-super project. As we gain experience with Git and submodules, it is becoming clear these need to be decomposed into two separate submodules. Among other advantages, that would speed work on these tools as we could better utilize volunteers without having to hand out excessive super-project write permissions.
We would like one or two volunteers to do the refactoring. You don't need to be a library maintainer or release manager, although that's fine if you are. You do need git skills, as we do want to preserve history.
Comments?
I just worked on this, the results are: https://github.com/ahmedcharles/regression https://github.com/ahmedcharles/release And the additions to the superproject are: https://github.com/ahmedcharles/boost Let me know if you have any questions.
