Vladimir, Andrew,

this is just a little note to make sure you two are aware of each other 
and can plan together on how to move forward for this year's GSoC. I 
haven't been reading very carefully the boost lists these days, so I may 
have missed some messages. But since this generic call for action 
remained unanswered, I figured I better reply...

Also, as a FYI:

One idea I have for a GSoC project sits somewhere in between boost.org 
and DocBook: Boost has been developing some DocBook extensions for C++ 
API documentation. I'd like to move this into the DocBook project, since 
it is useful outside of Boost, and also because I hope that it will 
generate some interesting side-effects on DocBook itself.

I'm cheerleading the DocBook core developers to register with this 
year's GSoC, too, then we need someone who is interested in doing this 
work. It might be more of a DocBook project than Boost. Still, we may 
want to list it as a project idea on the relevant boost wiki.

See http://docbook.xmlpress.net/tiki-index.php?page=api-markup

Thanks,
         Stefan
