Hi, I'm reading though the boost unit testing documentation at: http://www.boost.org/libs/test/doc/components/utf/index.html It's good, but I think could probably do with some basic copy editing. As I'm reading though it anyway I'd be happy to do it, is this ok? What procedure should I follow to do this? Many Thanks! --

I've alrady tried to do this, but failed because it is generated using Dreamweaver. Unless you have this software, and devise a CVS/SVN method of working togther with others, especially Gennadiy, it's difficult to work jointly. (This is why using Boost.Book aka Quickbook/Docbook is a more promising methodology) IMO, it is also the *structure* of the documentation that is causing most difficulty.

What about it? Gennadiy.

Unfortunately version of the docs available now is way-way out of date.
What procedure should I follow to do this?
I am working on complete rewrite. I am almost done with first half: user's guide. It's a single unformatted word document. If you are interested in helping me work on the docs please contact me off the list as I could definitely could use help with English editing. Once this is done I plan to convert it into HTML manually. Without content change. Gennadiy
