Hi,

If you haven't noticed, on develop libs/libraries.htm is now a
template which gets filled in as part of the documentation build. You
can see the template and generated files at:

https://github.com/boostorg/boost/blob/develop/libs/libraries.htm
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/develop/libs/libraries.htm

This will be merged to master pretty soon. The only obstacle is
updating the website automatically from the latest build, which should
be happening very soon.

The file libs/maintainers.txt is also automatically updated, but
that's done in the repo itself, so that you have the full copy in you
normal checkout. But I'm finding that people don't realise this, and
we've had a few pull requests to update it manually. So instead, I
think it might be a good idea to convert it to a template as well.
This means you won't have a local copy, but will still be able to see
a reasonably up to date copy online at:

http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/develop/libs/maintainers.txt

Any objections? I'm think of using similar templates for some other
files, such as the root index.html (for the version number and new
libraries).

thanks,

Daniel
