Boosters looking for more ammunition when try to convince their 
organizations that it is OK to use Boost might want to refer to the 3rd 
edition of Scott Meyers' Effective C++. Because Scott is well-known and 
isn't in any way affiliated with Boost, his recommendation may carry a lot 
of weight.

Item 55, "Familiarize yourself with Boost" devotes four pages to Boost, 
including our culture and a mention of various Boost libraries and library 
categories.

I think we ought to add a prominent mention of this to the Boost home page.
