   Hi.

   A few issues related to the documentation link organization on the
new web site:

----
  1.
----
   The libraries documentation link list on the 
http://beta.boost.org/doc/ page (the main link list as well as the one 
in the menu on the right hand side) should be updated to reference the 
1.36.0 release web page as the current release.
----
  2.
----
   Could the tool documentation links on http://beta.boost.org/doc/ be 
better organized somehow?
   Currently it is not clear that the 'Tools' bullet is a link to a page 
with all the tool documentation links and user thinks that Boost Jam & 
Boost Build are the only two documented (or existing) tools.
   Some ideas:
    (1) Remove Boost Jam & Boost Build links and leave just the 'Tools' 
link.
    (2) Add an 'All tools...' link below the Boost Build link.
    (3) Integrate the whole http://beta.boost.org/doc/tools.html web 
page into its parent page at http://beta.boost.org/doc/.
   My choice would be (3).
----
  3.

   There is a similar problem with the links on the right side of the 
http://beta.boost.org/doc/ page where similar ideas apply and my 
suggestion would be to list all the tools below the Tools parent menu item.
   I've seen this same suggestion made before in some thread, and 
recalled it now after actually having to look for some tool 
documentation and experiencing the problem for myself.
   Hope this helps.
   Best regards,
     Jurko Gospodnetiæ
