Re: [boost] Boost is supposed to serve *the entire C++ community; it isn't Boost's goal to serve Boost's community*

I began putting together an initial checklist of potential automatable C++ style and design checkers via a clang AST parser at https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/BestPracticeHandbook. The idea was that people could submit their library, and get it scored and ranked on a dashboard. All automated.

You can't automate out human judgment. And even if you could, human judgment is the basis of reputation. "A collection of libraries that have passed certain scripted checks" doesn't have the same value, because a script has no face.

... truly serving the C++ community at large, not just yet more Boost parochialism.

Oh come on.
