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!

Hi Guys -
Sorry I didn't see this earlier, but I'm at BoostCon now and I'm planning on running a "formal trial" on these tools while we have a face to face group. I'm working with Smartbear and hope to have something available by Tuesday. In the library in a week we will be looking for a suitable library (we don't want a pretend one) to up into the tools so we can compare them.
Have one of you'all applied for the crucible community license already for Boost or do we need to do something?
As for the Hartmut's issue about permanent data, we will need to figure that out. I don't think we need to run the server -- frankly I'd rather not. As long as we have control and can export the data and publish into email or other form at the end of the review that should be sufficient to protect us from companies going out of business, etc.

Hi Jeff - Unfortunately I'm not able to make BoostCon this year. Have a wonderful time. I'll miss waking up early for you morning sessions. I did investigate Crucible far enough to determine that in June I would setup a Boost trial server. I have not applied for a license or anything of that sort yet. At first glance I didn't see an OpenSource hosting option. I might have missed it. I'll be looking for feedback from the BoostCon attending folks to see if this was something you were able to explore. If not, I'll setup a server in June that we can run a test on.
