I agree that the current wording cannot go live as an official Boost website.
I think that the current wording was just something copied and pasted in an effort to comply with a legal requirement since the new site collects information as part of the login process where the old site does not. The C++ Alliance has no desire to restrict anyone such as Boost users, library authors, maintainers, or anyone else. We are very happy to receive pull requests with new proposed text, and I would like to keep reminding everyone that the site is going to be a work in progress for years. I am very much a believer in merit and fairness. I do not like taking credit for other people's work and I do not like taking power through bureaucratic or political means. Instead I prefer to get credit for hard work and measurable results. Hopefully it is safe to say that most people know me and my motivations fairly well, judging from the C++ Alliance contributions to Boost, there is no reason to expect that this will change. So if there is a problem with the language of the privacy policy please assume that we are operating in good faith. And again, we're happy to receive pull requests :) I do not think we should wait until the website is "perfect" because that is in truth unlikely to ever happen. What we need to do is publish this site sooner rather than later and let the community pitch in to help us polish it up further. Thanks
