Lets just move it all.  There's lots of good stuff there that can be helpful
even it doesn't end up in boost.

maybe - but its much better than nothing.

I don't know what the options are here but:

a)From looking at the page its not clear to me how one uploads a file. I
sure hope one doesn't have to use the CVS system!

b) It would be more than just helpful to have a text description of what the
file is.

c) I don't see why this section has directories.

d) there is a login button whose purpose is unclear to me
