Here are some suggestions for what needs to be specified in the docs at 
a general level:

1) Some explanation of the major concepts of your library.
2) On what Boost libraries does your library depend.
3) Level of C++ needed, header files to be included, and namespaces 
being used, and possibly on what compilers it has been tested.
