I think that's probably would be best. Not everybody read users list 
regularly.

The fact that you can't recieve email notification when someone modifies a 
page of interest greatly reduces Wiki utility, IMO.

And it's not that good, BTW.

Some of your suggestion require pretty major changes in interfaces. I'm not 
sure Jeremy will be happy with making a version which cannot be used with BGL 
book. In either case, it must be discussed with him (and probably you need to 
reach him personally, in case hi does not pay attention to the list).

As a user, I agree to some of your suggest.

As for patches like typename on gcc, just post them to list. If they are 
obvious, someone (like myself), can apply them immediately.
