http://boost.org/more/bugs.htm still says that the preferred way to report bugs is to send an email message. Do we really mean that? It's way more reliable to open a Trac ticket. Is there any reason not to change the "preferred" approach? That might well lead to zillion Trac tickets to triage. It might make sense to use a policy similar to subversion's:
1. Post to list 2. If somebody agrees it looks like a bug, and nobody jumps and immediately fixes it, enter to Trac
That sounds better to me, because bugs posted to the list often get fixed a lot faster. But I'd modify it slightly:
1. Post to list. 2. If it doesn't get fixed immediately, and no one points out it isn't really a bug, create a Trac bug report.
Are errors in documentation considered bugs ?
