BoostPro closing the doors and needing volunteers
Hello Boost Maintainers, I observed that BoostPro have closed doors and have made the project open source. I would like to volunteer for maintaining and enhancing the pre-build binaries and sources for boost pre-built installers. Kindly let me know what all is desired from a person who wishes to take up this activity. Thanks & Regards, Manish -- May the force be with you

If you're referring to the windows build, I started putting builds (I've been doing them for a while: http://boost.teeks99.com) on sourceforge with the last build. https://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost-binaries/1.54.0/ My installers are a bit different than the ones BoostPro had. Specifically I don't have the ability to only download a subset of the libraries. I thought this was a good tradeoff as it increases the simplicity of the installer a lot and makes it much easier to use for users who just want it all. Plus, I'm able to support more compiler versions than they were. The source for my build scripts is on github. I'd be more than happy to get pull requests :-) https://github.com/teeks99/boost-build Tom
