For technical reasons, please log into the Trac at least once after  
getting your account.

My feeling is that developer-centric documentation should move to the  
Trac Wiki, where it can be easily modified/updated by all of our  
developers. It doesn't really need to be on the main web site. User- 
centric documentation that doesn't need to be in the Boost  
distribution (i..e, most non-library documentation) should move to  
the beta website.

Sound good?
