Library authors shouldn't have to bear the burden of bug reports for their libraries alone. Even maintaining their regression tests across all platforms isn't realistic (and isn't being done).
So what if we try to recruit a couple helpers for each library?
I see two avenues where we can use some volunteer help to improve boost's quality.
1. Dandelion pickers: look at failed/yellow regression tests and try to fix them. Volunteers could pick a platform they have access to, and try to work across all libraries. You might be surprised at how easy many are to fix.
Yes please, if anyone would like to investigate the regex or math lib failures on those platforms I don't have access to that would be great! John.
