In this recent reddit post, Jonathan (online nickname "foonathan") says:
AFAIK the CppAlliance decided to unilaterally write a new boost website for the Boost foundation, but the Boost foundation wasn't/isn't that interested in it. ... I was told details, but I don't know whether they are official Boost foundation statements or personal views of the person that told me about it, so I don't want to share them.
I can understand the Boost Foundation's reluctance to embrace this new website.
When the Boost Foundation originally saw the web project over a year ago, it was supportive. In later discussions, some on the board conveyed hesitance at adopting something complicated or expensive to maintain. The general attitude is to wait and see how it goes. There's no official Boost Foundation opinion; we haven't taken a vote or anything. My own two cents is that we direly need a website renewal. I like the style and looks of Vinnie's proposed site, but I'm not convinced about the forum piece. The wonderful thing is that we'll all get to try this out and adopt whatever works best for the community. Everyone wins. -- David
