Rene,

In my presentation yesterday, I proposed that we look at the boost web 
presence including, website, wike, maybe trac, and all he stuff we have.  My 
view is that we would benefit from taking a step back and bringing it up to 
date.  I know you've been the maintainer on this but that's it's quite a big 
job.  I also know that Beman has shown interest in lending financial support 
for the work you do on the boost/release part.  I think the job is just to 
big for you to do at the same time you're the main person responsible for 
the boost/release.  Also I want to draw more volunteers into boost and I 
think this is a good place for them.   What I would like to do is see if we 
can off load the Web presence to some new candidate (or two).  I don't know 
how you feel about this,  but I do want to advocate for the idea in any 
case.  The purpose of this email is to give you a heads up so that I'm not 
catching you by surprise and that you have an opportunity to contribute the 
discussion if you so desire.  This will be the subject of a Boost 
operational meeting scheduled for Friday at 12:45.  I will be posting for 
volunteers to attend the meeting on Thursday.
