I have found the mailing list archives proved helpful, but took an inordinate amount of time to search through. Is it possible to take threads in the mailing lists that look something like this: - A: I have problem XYZ - B-Z: Oh, you need to do this - A: That fixed it, thanks! and convert them to a FAQ or additional documentation?

How about encouraging Boost library developers to maintain library-specific FAQs along with their respective library documentation?

How about it? We already do.

Technically true, however, frequently and functionally misleading. There have been few libraries I have used recently where I didn't have to call this list for help. While I have always received a degree of help which has been useful to me, I routinely see other threads where a programmer with a question doesn't seem to connect with the respondents (the latest threads about bjam & python being good examples).
