Agreed.  Use of the Wiki has been steadily growing.

Luckily, everyone can get a summary automatically from the Wiki of which pages
have changed over the last 30 days at the link below.  If Wiki editors provide a
good summary of the changes when saving the page, a bold description of the
change shows up along with this query.

Here are a few other highlights aside from the Libraries under construction.

1) Doug G. added an interesting article Generalizing C-Style Callbacks with
boost function

yle_Callbacks

2) Dave & Vladimir have been using the Wiki extensively to discuss/document
Boost.build

3) Toon added the Installing Boost page which provides a brief set of
instructions for using JAM and provides pointers to pre-compile JAM executables
.

4) Stephen C. added a page on common compiler errors with function/bind with
Borland.

orsWhenUsingFunctionAndBindToReplaceCppBuilderClosures

5) I have added a few "mail archive summaries".  These are links to email
threads that I found useful as I was looking for info in the mail archives that
goes beyond the docs.

6)  I should also point out that the Wiki has one really nice feature not on the
main boost site: it is fully searchable (look at the search box at the bottom of
the each page).  Anyway, I have an experimental page that uses Google
(constrained to boost.org) to search the main site.
