Hi,
I voluteered to look at how to make the "Getting Started" section of the homepage a bit easier to understand and follow. (Reminder: I failed to install boost on Windows due to stupid errors on my side which I claimed could have been avoided with an easier guide.) My time to do this is very limited, which is why this takes so long. Sorry, but I can't help it. I attached a zipped archive of what I have so far. (Unpack onto the "more" folder.) I threw this at some fellow workers being used to work with Windows. This gave some feedback of where I failed. Also, Dave has already put a lot of work into reviewing it and this brought many improvements. As I still don't understand Boost.Build (I consider it very important to remain as ignorant as the targeted audience while working on this guide. :o> ), I'd like this to first be reviewed here instead of just checking it in.
The "moderators" link is dead; it could point to mailto:boost-owner@lists.boost.org -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
