As the announcement said, the boostification script has not been
implemented. Nor will it be until the documentation and tutorial are
finished for obvious reasons. That's some months away yet, probably
November or December, after the Meeting C++ conference and the
Albuquerque WG21 meeting.

The implementation code however is ready to go, and works very well with
Boost code as it's exactly like a STL vocabulary type. If you can meet
the steep compiler version requirements of course.

Outcome runs on both Travis and Appveyor. Each cannot know if the other
succeeded. So a cronjob which already exists scans nightly the CDash for
Outcome, and figures out the last commit with all tests passing on all
platforms. It then updates master branch to that commit, and publishes a
tarball. That same cronjob will eventually also Boostify Outcome into
the Boost.Outcome repo if and only if all tests pass i.e. master branch
got updated.
