Hi,
We chatted about this briefly in Slack last week.  I am working on
mirroring the website svn.boost.org using "wget --mirror". This copies all
the dynamic content as simple static files.
The mirror took a long time, multiple days, although the total content was
around 27GB. Now the issue is to debug some of the details, such as
question marks in filenames, international character sets, conflicting file
and directory names. So, the task is ongoing.
