So people developing code with an eye towards submission to Boost may choose to 
do their development in the sandbox, but this is not required, right?  Have most 
submissions spent time in the sandbox, or is it equally common for somebody to 
submit something they'd been working on their own completely independent of Boost?

Which I truly regret, but that notwithstanding, is this information available at 
Boost somewhere?  If not, I think it would be helpful for more people than just me.

Thanks,
