Any boost developer can update those pages, by scp'ing them to the
appropriate directory of shell.sf.net:/home/groups/b/bo/boost/htdocs.
First the developer should make the change in our CVS repository, so
it's not lost.  The developer must also ensure that there is group
write and general read permission on the file(s), and additionally
general execute permission on any directories.  That can be done
either before uploading the material or afterwards by doing a 

ssh shell.sf.net "chmod-command-here"

Yeah, this should be documented on some webpage.  Okay, I posted the
procedure here: http://www.boost.org/more/updating_the_website.html
