Speaking of which, I've got the nasty feeling that a good portion of the C++ programming community have heard of Boost but don't use it because:
1. It's too big.
I heard this too. IOW they fear dependencies. It would be useful to paint "this is not framework, you may use just small piece" everywhere. The bcp should be "marketed" better, not many know about it.
* As for #3 and #4, I've got this idea round my head that Boost would benefit of a "community site" where people of various expertise levels could mingle together, post Boost-related articles, etc. Something like CodeProject or Gamedev, which have a less intimidating appearance than www.boost.org. Some months ago I asked for a Boost-related forum in CodeProject, to no avail :(
Something ala CP would help both users and aspiring library writers. CP doesn't want more page-views? /Pavel
