Here's an additional plea to get accounts ASAP. I've been adding 
components and corresponding owners to Trac. And the one thing holding 
up having a full set of components is not having people to assign them to.

I added a ticket for this 
<http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/query?milestone=Subversion+Switch>. If 
anyone wants to work on it please reassign it.

May I suggest that people also consider migrating documentation to the 
beta website. Or if you don't feel like directly doing that you can:

   * Add a page to the wiki with the docs.
   * Add a ticket to Trac pointing out the wiki page, and requesting to 
move the content to the beta website (making sure the component is set 
to "website").

That way I, or maybe one of the Doc Project people, can move/clone it.
