A few observations

[cut]

Still allowed. But.. I, as in personally, reorganize that to remove the extra top dirs :-)

For example:

/util * Move to /build/util /performance * Move to /test/performance /CMake * Move to /build/cmake /doc/boostbook * Rename to /doc/src

But that's all just my personal preference.

Hmmm- I took pains to be sure that I didn't conflict with any of your stuff. That's why I didn't want to put anything into your directories. I still think that's a good idea. doc/src ... Hmmm - some people use markdown, etc. It's unclear to me whether you're going to specify that it be a requirement that there be a bjam file if and only if boost book is used. Or maybe you want to try to require that every doc/src include a jamfile to produce the html in accordance with the contents of doc/src. Personally, I'm ok if you want to mandate doc/src and a jamfile if possible. But I doubt it would be popular.

Basically, I'm impressed that this is a fairly conservative document which

doesn't require and major changes for anyone who has been trying to follow the rules all along.

We've always been careful to accommodate.

Actually, I think you've been too accomodating. I think you'd be better off making sure you have the absolute minimum requirements you can live with - but then insisting on these being respected. Easier said than done I know.

As for the "[cut]" parts of your post.. I would suggest starting new threads for specific subjects (license, javascript, etc.). As I was only asking about the parts I changed in this. I.e. the structure/integration.

LOL - I just followed the link to the whole page. I didn't know which parts you changed.
