Sorry, I just realized that I didn't quote enough for people to know 
precisely what kind of volunteers we're looking for.

There's a need for a better distribution mechanism for Boost.  As it 
stands, it's difficult for users to install all of, or a portion of, 
Boost on their various platforms.  There's some goals and criteria 
that make this a not-so-simple thing to do, and I don't want to 
rehash this stuff on this list.  If you're interested you can either 
read the developer list archives or you can e-mail me directly.  We 
need volunteers with some experience in CM and distribution 
management.

Thanks,
