IMHO, there's no comparison between boost-users and something like 
CodeProject. The way I see it, boost-users, is where I go ask a question 
when I'm stuck on something and can't find the right way on my own. 
CodeProject, on the other hand, is where I'd go publish about my "latest 
adventure" with boost (as in something I had to code, had a hard time doing 
it, managed to do it, and thought others might benefit from my experience & 
ready to use code), and read about others.

The organization of the information available there is much better in terms 
of making things easy to find. (Article + discussions about it vs. lots of 
posts that are not always correctly threaded)
