I don't think this is a good idea, as it contributes to the 
proliferation of locations to look for to find information (or to 
contribute updates), which will also result in duplicate (in the best 
case) or contradictory (in the worst case) information. Ideally, 
boost.org should consist of a *very* small number of static pages (a 
hub, really) with links to other pages, such as project-specific 
websites (e.g. http://boostorg.github.io/
>), or the wiki 
(
https://github.com/boostorg/boost/wiki).
