Thanks for volunteering as review manager.  I would ask that the review 
wizard take the following actions:

a) review the procedures for formal review of libraries and create a 
version for web site enhancements and other boost tools.  Hopefully it 
would follow the intent and letter of the current process for libraries.

b) call for volunteers for review managers and select one and schedule a 
date.

c) I'm tempted to volunteer for review manager myself.  But
i) it's going to be a lot of work
ii) I think I'm much more valuable standing outside pissing into the 
tent than the opposite.
