It's not a commercial library, so there will be no commercial 
advertisement.  The developers try to do a good job of spreading 
things via "word of mouth" on various lists, such as how you found 
Boost.  There's also an effort going on to get various 
libraries "published" in articles and even books (there have been a 
few articles, and it would be nice to see the earlier suggested page 
of references to such works on www.boost.org).  I'm not sure how else 
we could go about "advertising".
