Repost of a snippet of Doug Gregor's original announcement of this list 
and call for volunteers:

> A small group of volunteers has been working on a new build system for  
> Boost based on CMake, a cross-platform, open-source build system. We  
> have reached the point where our core build system has become  
> relatively stable, and we are requesting volunteers to help us improve  
> the build system further by improving the documentation, implementing  
> new features, porting the system to other platforms, etc. We are most  
> interested in volunteers who are:
> 
>    * Willing to learn the CMake build system and the Boost-specific  
> macros we have built for CMake
>    * Interested in the technical challenges of building, testing, and  
> deploying Boost
>    * Able to test on a variety of platforms and compilers
>    * Willing to write as much documentation as code (or more!)
>    * Unwilling to participate in build-system flame wars
> 
> Anyone interested in joining this effort should read about CMake and  
> our CMake-based build system for Boost (links below), then join the  
> Boost-CMake mailing list (also below).
