I'd like to see only the bare-minimum library+tool documentation in  
Boost releases. All of the other content on the web site, from our  
various policies to news items and history, should be on the web  
site, only.

In a (my) perfect world, all library and tool documentation would go  
through the Quickbook/BoostBook documentation tool-chain and that's  
all that would go into the releases. Everything else would be part of  
the web site alone.
