Boost General Interest mailing list
Boosters, This messages announces the Boost General Interest mailing list, called Boost-Interest. This list is a moderated low-traffic announcement-only list of interest to the Boost community. On topic messages will include announcements of books, magazine articles, papers, talks, seminars, products, tools, events, or conferences on advanced uses of C++, generic/generative/meta-programming, and, of course, the Boost libraries. Off topic will be discussion of any kind and job postings. Yes, this is an opt-in list for announcements, but it is a moderated list and the moderators make you two promises. This list will be low volume and all messages will be on-topic (as defined by the charter above).

I believe John Maddock has already done this. Or did you have something else in mind? -- Jon
I see the newsgroup via the gmane.org web interface but it's not reported in the list of available newgroups in my newsreader. Perhaps if you post the charter as the first message gmane will list it via NNTP? "Jon Kalb" <Kalb@LibertySoft.com> wrote in message news:BDFF797F.54C35%Kalb@LibertySoft.com...

Christopher, Thanks for this suggestion. I will send the charter to the group after I announce it on Boost-User. Although I'm happy to have gmane provide a newsreader interface for this list (I asked them to), the low-volume, time-sensitive nature of the traffic on Boost-General doesn't really cry out for a newsreader interface as do the dev and user lists which are high volume and contain information that will be valuable for searching for months and even years.

Did I miss some conversation here about creating this list? Or can anyone arbitrarily decide to use a shared resource (the "lists.boost.org" computer) for a Boost-related purpose?

So far, the procedure has been for someone wanting to start a new list on lists.boost.org to discuss it with the Boost moderators, who then give an OK to the sys admins at Indiana. Sometimes there is discussion too on the main list. --Beman

No, that computer is administered by OSL staff and as such nothing happens there without their direct intervention. The list was established by the moderators of boost-devel and boost-users because the feeling was that boost-announce should not be used for postings that might be construed as advertisement. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
