Hi,
http://boost.org/more/bugs.htm
Submit a bug report to either boost-users list, boost mailing list, or our bug tracking facility;
IIRC Trac accounts are only for developers. Maybe it's a good idea to include a Register link anyway and explain this?
IS something missing from the new page content? http://beta.boost.org/support/bugs.html
Yes (IMO), the else clause.
If you have a userid on the Boost Trac server, please log in.
I'd add that 'userids' are only for developers. Otherwise I'd still be looking for a sign up link.
submitting it to either of the mailing lists is a preferred way - because many of the Boost developers read the lists on a daily basis, this way you are likely to get a quicker response, and the discussions that often arise there from (possible) bug reports are quite interesting and educational as well;
Why aren't reports from Trac forwarded to the mailing lists then?
A maintainer of the library against which the bug is being reported will be automatically notified by email.
That's not equivalent. If it's enough, you can drop the 'submitting it to either of the mailing lists is a preferred way' bit. If it's not enough, you should forward them to the mailing list automatically and again drop that bit. Greetings, Olaf
