These have provided people with lots of fun - but as far as 'branding' goes, they are a mess :-(

Definitely.

And I can see that you have had some fun with designing your much better and consisten collection.
Thanks for putting in so much work on these.

Others may be more enthusiastic?

>But I'm far from forcing the authors to use some specific ones or any at all.

I think we should very strongly encourage a consistent look and feel of Boost libraries docs

> Some basic, text-based README should be sufficient.

Sufficient, but doesn't help with 'developing the brand' so should be discouraged.

Cheers
