For Boost-Announce I think we should have something like this:

--------------------------------------------------------------
Boost has formed a new mailing list called "Boost-Users" specifically
for dealing with user issues. The focus of the list is not developing
libraries, but is on putting them to work. You can subscribe to this
list at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/boost-users or by sending email to
boost-users-subscribe_at_yahoogroups.com.
--------------------------------------------------------------

A more press-release-y version, if we have a place to use it, would be:

--------------------------------------------------------------
C++ Boosters announce an new forum for users of the Boost Libraries!

Boost-Users is a forum for discussion of issues related to using the
libraries available at www.boost.org. These are free, peer-reviewed,
portable C++ source libraries.

The focus of the forum is to help users to leverage these libraries in
their own development projects. Users can join this forum at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/boost-users or by sending email to
boost-users-subscribe_at_yahoogroups.com.
