This brings up an interesting topic. In the last several weeks I've been
studying the public records and it is not always clear to me the order of
events or the exact dates. For example, was Boost founded in 1998 or 1999?
I only started contributing in 2017 so I have no memories to call upon
here. A personal project of mine is to construct an unbiased and accurate
historical record of Boost for people who have joined the project more
recently to understand the context of things and also the rationale for why
things were done a certain way (or in some cases to understand why certain
decisions may not have worked out so well later).

I guess what I'm saying is that it would be nice if some of the O.G. Boost
folks could sit for an informal interview and help offer more detail on the
early years of the project.

Thanks
