Have you considered that the index page may be too busy.
For example see :
There is a huge amount of information available but only headings are used on
the index page. Using their approach I would guess that a link titled "About"
would be suitable for those who want to know what boost is.
IOW nothing much on the main page ...just links.
"Welcome to Boost"
main page | Maybe down the tree
About -->
What is boost ?->
People->
Site Map ->
Libraries->
Download->
Documentaion->
Boost Newsgroups ->
Contact ->
As a user all I usually want from an index is to get to the particular
information I need as quickly as possible by clicking on the appropriate
link.( For instance how would I quickly find Supported Compilers via the current
page)?
