You can do these (once you've got commit access). Although Beman or I
usually deal with the root file.

I normally do these based on your libraries.htm entry. Although if
you're interested the relevant files are at:

http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/website/public_html/beta/doc/libraries.xml
http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/website/public_html/beta/feed/history/boost_1_44_0.qbk

If you don't get a response, I think you need to ask the moderators
(boost-owner_at_[hidden]).

I sometimes have a few suggestions that aren't really relevant for the
review. IIRC the html will need to be tidied up a bit to work on the
website. It'd also be better if it used a CSS based layout rather than
a table layout, if you want I could prepare a template for that, what
software do you use to write your html?

I'll look at the documentation in more detail later.

You log in to trac using your subversion details. But you need to ask
someone to add the component. Starting a new thread with '[trac]' in
the subject usually seems to work.
