Any mistakes in my Boost mirror, or any problems, or even thoughts are gratefully received. Don't put too much effort into this; Boost SVN->Git modularization is just about ready for review :-)
Dave,
it would be great if the sandbox could be converted quickly, so GSoC students can use it ?
We don't expect anyone to commit to https://github.com/boostorg/sandbox once the transition is complete. In fact, it would be good to stop now. Instead, people should use individual Git repositories.
It would be great if they didn't need to learn a thousand tools before being able to focus on the project itself, and so having a well-defined and -documented process to set things up and get started would be very helpful.
I don't know what you mean here, sorry.
(For the time being I guess we could just use the boost sandbox repo via svn as in the past, yes ?)
I suggest you tell everyone to get him/herself set up at GitHub, and then you create one page with links to everyone's repositories. -- Dave Abrahams
