Fueling standard C++ docs

It would be nice to have a proposal about how we will tackle the Standard C++ Library Boosted documentation.
Someone will have to jump in to start it, and get others involved.

This is something from a private conversation with Andrew Sutton, to start thinking about how we will do it.

Andrew wrote:
I think, along these lines, there are two sub-projects (well, more like three). The first is to determine if boosters are interested in contributing to a new doc-only library (libs/std) or something like that. Second, we need a number of different prototypes on how to actually present the documentation. This is a content and presentation issue. Third, is to try to sell that standard to other libraries so that concept docs become more pervasive.


Lets see how things evolve in the next days.

Private conversations

A few of us have been talking about the objectives of the project and crafting new ideas to improve Boost documentation in private mails conversations.
I will try to summarize some of the conclusions in this blog, so other people can comment on them. Others members of the IBD community will probably do the same.
Stjepan has just become blogger, and it will not be long until others jump in.

Behind the scenes

The idea of this Blog is to have a medium where to leave a record of the things that happens in the Improving Boost Docs project. We will tell you what is going on behind the scenes and what are our next objectives. The idea is to do informal posting here. The formal face of the project will be our Wiki page at Boost Trac.

This is a community blog, if you are part of the project I really encourage you to become a blogger. Send me a mail and I will give you the needed permissions.

June is over. It has been a busy month, and we are heading towards and exciting July.
Thanks to all the amazing folks that are involved in the project.
Lets make IBD a reality!
