That's possible right now on the incubator.  It doesn't include all the 
boost libraries - but it easily could.

I would love to see a whole restructuring of the Boost website and all 
the stuff it's connected to.  I agree it sorely needed.  Actually the 
incubator is my vision for Boost 2.0 - an easily navigable facade/lense 
through which to view all of boost in a coherent way.

But as has been noted, website scripting is may more hacky and 
problematic than C++, and that's saying something.
