I looked over the Beman website and discourse and found no useful 
information other than the mission statement which I quoted.

I'm not speculating.  I'm asking so I don't have to speculate.

As I understand it, issues separate from library development per se were 
what the Boost Foundation was designed for.  And it seems to have worked 
well for that.

Members of the board have always been welcome to work on the library 
development side on their own and many have.

So my question remains unanswered: "What purpose can the project serve 
which is not already addressed by Boost?"
