Re: [boost] IMPORTANT! Lost front page changes! Need help to recover them.

Hi Rene,

Since I tend to make the most changes to the home page (review  
announcements), I would like a clarification on the policy regarding  
updating it.   The home page in particular is a tricky situation  
because there can be three versions at any point in time:

1) The current boost.org homepage, containing  a blurb about the  
latest release and the most recent news
2)  The page in the Release Candidate Branch, which contains the news  
about what will be in the next version of the web page
3)  The page that contains news about what will be appearing in the  
release following the one in the Release Candidate Branch.

In the past, if I have made a modification to a library in CVS HEAD  
and not in an RC branch, (meaning the change will not be in the next  
release, but in the release after that), I have placed the news item  
in the CVS HEAD index.htm.

So I have two questions:

1) Where should the current visible home page be in CVS?

2) Where should I put news items for the release after 1.34 in CVS?

Thanks,
ron
