"Brian Braatz"
Jeff, Please let me offer a suggestion- I like the boost wiki- I think the problem is it is "another paradigm" separate from the list. People can only handle so many paradigms.
Now, if you "connect the two", then the Wiki will get more people using it.
My suggestion- is add to the Wiki site- something that lets a person browse the MAILING LIST.
That's easily done; we can just link to the mailing list archives. We have many choices there, actually. Just look at http://www.boost.org/more/mailing_lists.htm and search for "archives."
If you can get the interface to the list working as good or better than the email version, then more people will start to use the web tool, by using the web tool, they will see the Wiki on the way in. In this way, the Wiki is put closer to their paradigm.
Hmm, I'm not sure we can convince everyone to look at the Wiki before going to the archive pages.
While I think my suggestion is a good idea, I must give the credit to KMART for putting the display of "canned meat" right in front of the bathroom entrance.
