I'd being using boost for at least 6 years, and I don't remember any boost
wiki. Do someone has access to check the request log of that wiki and
confirm if there is traffic (aside from robots)?
Maybe nobody is reading and that will make easier to decide to shut it
down. Or maybe, that is the most visited page ever and it will not be a
good idea.
