I wasn't answering any of your questions :-\

There is no data on the trunk version. But there is on the release version.

That's per design. It's possible to have some content in the index page 
<http://www.boost.org/development/tests/release/developer/index_release.html>. 
As you can see from the trunk & non-release version of the same page 
<http://www.boost.org/development/tests/trunk/developer/index.html>. 
That content is up to the person running the report generation. Which in 
the case of the release results is Beman.

Yeah... I'll gladly take patches to the XSL templates that generate the 
reports to make that happen. And by that I mean... I don't know how to 
make that happen.
