Some time ago we all had a discussion like this and I believe Jeff Garland had mentioned Smart Bear's CodeCollaborator to aid in Boost Reviews. I used their product for a short time and was just taking a look at their web site again:
<http://smartbear.com/products/development-tools/code-review/features/
I know there are other tools also (like Crucible) but CodeCollaborator also allows reviews of html docs which will obviously be handy. IIRC Jeff had mentioned that SmartBear might be willing to provide licensing for Boost (or opensource .. it is all fuzzy). I believe Jeff was in contact with them... but my memory might be failing (Jeff?? Are you there?)
I would be willing to investigate this path further, including the administration and such of the tool, if it is of interest to the community.

Some of us on IRC (Thomas Heller, Jeroen Habraken, and I) played with demo projects this past hour in both CodeCollaborator and Crucible. So far, Crucible seems the easiest to follow. The interface provides general threaded discussions also. The only thing that seems lacking at first glance is the ability to review HTML docs.
Feel free to take a look and provide some feedback!

The main Crucible site can be found here: http://www.atlassian.com/software/crucible/
How permanent are those reviews? Will we be able to go back in a couple of years and see what went on? Generally mailing lists have proven to be quite resilient to websites going down, that's why I somehow prefer having all discussions here... Regards Hartmut --------------- http://boost-spirit.com
