Hi,
Would it be possible to have a pointer to the documentation related with the modular boost git mess under the "development" item of the boost main page ? it seems at least as important as some stuff like "Coding Guidelines for Integral Constant Expressions".
Think bigger. Propose that all the information on the boost web pages be re-organized to make it easier to browse and add new pages too. I guess that would be nice, but bigger tends to to happen and my concern is a lot more basic: I try to find some time every now and then to work on boost, typically,

I guess it would not be that difficult with some basic versionning tool (I mean I do most of my work with 3 subversion command). The problem is that with that fabulous git and modular boost Great Migration, understanding how to perform advance task such as checkout, update, commit etc. requires reading a few pages of documentation explaining that sure-it-sucks-but-someone-got-a-workaround. Git, along with modular boost workarounds, are something I am likely to forget after a few months (if only as a defense mechanism I guess). So, since those pages exists, and assuming boost development is considered a relevant issue for boost, having access to those workaround without requesting a google search would relieve the pain (and,maybe, encourage contributions ?). But maybe that's just me. Alain
