Viewpoint from a user of Boost. I'm firmly in the camp that a forum is the
way to go. Boost has been crying out for this for AGES!

Well, now that I have everyone's attention just before the release, I'd like to draw attention to the elephant in the room. That is, the declining level of activity on the Boost mailing lists and the declining level of participation in the Boost formal review process. Both in terms of the number of reviewers, and in terms of the difficulty in finding a review manager.
Clearly, a website update is necessary and along with it some type of campaign to highlight once again the important role that Boost serves in the C++ community for both professionals and amateurs alike. But what more can we do?
This came up before but it is worth mentioning again; in addition to a website update to make boost.org modern and relevant, how do we feel about a transition to forum-based discussion instead of the mailing list? I realize this will ruffle some feathers but surely the alternative, a descent into irrelevance due to steady declining activity is worse?
Discuss.
