Hi,
in addition to the things others already mentioned here (and I agree
with most the points made by them) I have some remarks regarding the
ordering of the top page:
1st: IMHO the 'Participation' section isn't necessary at the top page. A
first time visitor is interested in the 'whats', not in the 'hows'.
2nd: The 'Latest News' should move near the top of the page. That means,
the news have to be shortened. I would go with something along:
07/01/2005: Version 1.33.0 released. It includes some new outstanding
libraries improving the handling of streams, hash functions (aso).
(a)Read more...(/a)
Just some sentences are enough. Whoever is interested in a in-depth
description, will follow the link. For all the others the date will be
more interesting since it indicates a living product (as long as the
last entry isn't outdated ;-).
3rd: 'The Boost web site provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source
libraries.' As far as I understand english, the site doesn't provide the
libs. The boost community provides them.
'The emphasis is on libraries which work well with the C++ Standard
Library.' I wouldn't emphasize on that any longer. Working well with the
C++ SL is rather a precondition now.
Maybe rewriting these crucial first sentences would be the best.
Best regards
Olaf Krzikalla
