The current website content is not fully translated to the new website 
structure. Some one needs to go in and take the various documents, not 
the library docs, and find a place for them in the new structure. Then 
redact into XHTML (with the help of HTMLtidy) fixing any errors and 
possibly rewrite some, etc. I've done that for some of the documents. 
But I just don't have the free time to do it for all of them in the next 
few weeks, or even months, to get the new site ready for the release.

In addition I have to do some live testing of the site on the SF servers 
by taking over the sandbox website as a testing ground before attempting 
to publish it as the Boost website.
