I can think of two logical places to put the PDFs: - A dedicated location under www.boost.org/doc - Alongside the release tarballs on sourceforge.
The problem with both of these locations is that average boost developers do not have upload access. We can make it part of the release procedure that developers can optionally provide the release manager with PDFs, but this is one more thing for developers to forget to do, and more work for the release manager.
Maybe both locations should have a link to documentation in alternate formats,
Since we don't have an automatic indexing system for Quickbook (or other) documentation (A GSoC project?),
Boostbook docs have automatic indexing system, for some definition of 'automatic'. Please see http://www.boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/ix01.html Each index entry must be explicitly provided in the source (where the index term is defined). However, collection of all index entries at a single page is done by some magic. - Volodya
