However, once a library has matured to the point that the author would like it to become an official part of Boost, then they ask for a formal review of the code (http://www.boost.org/development/submissions.html), and generally also make a zip file available for download from the vault (just because it's more convenient for potential reviewers that way).
Just throwing out an idea: if (and I said "if" :-)) we agree to have the sandbox as the one place for "incubation", would it be possible, given the current Boost infrastructure, to provide something like SourceForge's "Download GNU tarball" link?
Do you mean, a way to download a .zip snapshot of any given subdirectory of the sandbox? It's certainly possible. Probably it should be a Trac plugin. Hmm, I wonder if such a plugin exists already. -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
