There are a lot of things in the day-to-day development of Boost that users just don't need to know about. The various workings of our Subversion repository, release management procedures, header policies, etc. just don't matter to users. I guess they could live somewhere on boost.org, away from the user-centric documentation, but
I pointed this out in the my other reply <http://beta.boost.org/development/website_updating.html>. I already have such separation on the new web site.
I prefer the ease-of-use of a Wiki. My hypothesis is that, if we make it really, really, really easy to make improvements to that developer- centric documentation, we'll get better at keeping it up-to-date and relevant.
Wikipedia has proven that idea impractical. Easy editing doesn't produce better docs, just more of them. You need editors, review, etc. to get better docs. -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org - grafik/redshift-software.com -- 102708583/icq - grafikrobot/aim - grafikrobot/yahoo
