LOL _ I've just whacked out from giving my presentation at CPP con.

The original version is correct.  That is

Around 1 October I'll start out the scope discussion with an initial 
proposal for the scope.  I expect this will reveal that there is a lot 
of disagreement on this.  I the course of the next 30 days I'll gather 
opinions and by 30 October hope to develop a boost style consensus. 
That is a description which everyone can live with.  And call for 
submissions.  I hope to have the review of the submissions start around 
1 February 2019.

A reminder that this process will be a little different that the normal 
one for libraries.  Traditionally, we've considered library submissions 
one at at time for an accept/reject decision.  The problem here is that 
the acceptance of one stops the process.  This is not a good match in 
this case.  So we'll be considering the submissions simultaneously and 
comparatively.  The general boost expectations will apply: that is, 
functionality, testability, documentation, final determination in the 
hands of the review manager.

FYI - I am now aware of three persons who are seriously considered 
making such submissions.  Given the fact that we're giving lots of time 
for persons to take their shot and that everyone is expert on build 
systems, it wouldn't surprise me if there were more.

Sorry for the mixup.
