Sounds good.

Are there any particular algorithms you have in mind? We've been  
slowly integrating contributed algorithms into the trunk. The  
limitation has basically been that we need to find people with time  
to review the algorithms, tests, documentation, etc. before merging  
any code.

No, I doubt it. We've talked offline a few times about building  
"version 2" of the Boost Graph Library, which would include many  
cosmetic cleanups, simplified interfaces, and probably remove many of  
the hacks for older compilers. Such an upgrade would be mostly  
backward-compatible and would not need a re-review.
