As we started through the process of adding the sort library as a module, it became obvious the docs for how to do this were quite out-of-date. The best document for adding new libraries is https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/ReleasePractices/ManagerCheckList# NewLibraryChecklist, and that section has now been updated.

Although this document is written from the perspective of release managers, the New Library Checklist section serves as a roadmap for what is expected as a new library goes through the stages of being added to a Boost distribution.

Comments and corrections welcome,

I've added pull requests libs/libraries.htm and libs/maintainers.txt. Merging those in should resolve everything necessary before the library is added to master, except for this one which seems to refer to a file that doesn't exist: "root/libs/meta/libraries.json is present and contents look reasonable."

I added pull requests for these changes to both develop and master because it wasn't clear which was appropriate (develop?). Is there anything else I need to for a release manager to merge the sort library into master? Is there a specific release manager I should be talking to?

This refers to the file libs/sort/meta/libraries.json you need to add, documented here:

http://www.boost.org/development/library_metadata.html

Thanks. I've added that file to the sort library. I believe libs/sort is now ready to merge into master. Would somebody be willing to do that for me? Should I submit a pull request to do that?
