[...] I'd like to see a complete rewrite of documentation. Paradoxically, I want it written by someone who is *not* an author or expert. (Obviously it will have to be edited by several people who *are* experts).
Does https://github.com/boostcon/2011_presentations/raw/master/mon/Boost.Build.pd... somewhat help? When I worked on the presentation, I wasn't an expert (I exchanged countless of emails with Vladimir back then in 2011 who gave me a lot of background information). I tried to present all the information in a way that it made sense to me and hopefully to others who find the build system to be a mystery. While the presentation is out there on GitHub for years, I feel hardly anybody knows about it (or maybe people know but the presentation isn't that helpful?). Boris
