Some comments from a boost newbie/C++ old hand here.
Contrary to what some have said, Boost *does* need to be sold.
Well, that statement can mean a lot of things, but I believe you mean that it is not, as currently presented, attractive to new-comers.
I hope you don't mean that it needs to be sold in an evangeligal manner. :-)
No, no; that wouldn't help anyone. Just in a way, like you suggested in the rest of your email, that makes the C++ programmer eagerly install it and then wonder where it has been all their life :)
