One possible approach would be to create a wiki page that describes:
* A first cut at a Boost policy on warnings.
* For the current release of the critical compilers, what compiler switches apply. "Critical compilers" are GCC, VC++, for now.
* How a developer using bjam can run local tests with those switches.
* A list of libraries known to have serious warning issues.
Anything else will take too much time to be useful for 1.41.0.
Would anyone like to take a cut at starting such a wiki page?
Since I've been a moaned about warning, I've had a stab at this at https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/Guidelines/MaintenanceGuidelines Right at the end. But much more detail, especially non-MS is required. (It also may not be the best place for it). Paul --- Paul A.
