It that a compliment or not ;-)

(I'm sure it can still be improved!)

Yes - though I'm not sure if we need formal reviews - just asking on boost-docs list if anyone is unhappy might do as

And if only we could get the releases more often, we can just snapshot "where the docs are now" - in the knowledge that
complaints will be dealt with 'next time?.
