Dart2. At some point I'll bug you about MySQL access to use the more 
scalable DB for the results.

Same here :-)

Yep... People, if you want an easy way to contribute to Boost, this is 
it. Even though I enjoy working on the web site, I have essentially no 
time right now :-(

Well that part is already easy, thanks to you for setting up the svn/web 
bridge. I was thinking of how it would make the Boost release itself

manager in this area. Basically, it's one less thing to worry about, for 
everyone, during releases.
