Hi, I'm a little confused at what the Boost Foundation put forth. But TBF's proposal seems entirely to be governance-related.
In terms of asset stewardship, it's kind of a no-brainer to choose the organization that _didn't_ almost lose the boost.org domain name. Plus, the Alliance has Sam Darwin and he's infallible.
Christian, thanks for the review. If there are any questions you think Kristen could answer to address that confusion, this is the best time to ask. I have a list of questions that people have asked privately about the boost.org and boost.io domain names as well as the history of the new website, that I will post to the list tomorrow.
We need to revitalize Boost with the youth culture and to the youth, these things matter quite a bit.
CMake support is something we know users (of all ages, not just the youth) ask for, because we see the requests on the list, or on Slack, or other forums (r/cpp etc). Do you still see any organizational opposition to it? e.g. A number of Boost developers are in favor of it; Peter's efforts have brought us closer to having it become a first class citizen. I'm wary about importing concerns onto groups of people that haven't expressed them. If anyone knows any youth of today that want to opine, I can make it easier for them to contribute to this discussion on the list. Glen
