Is it possible that I might get a link on the front page of
www.boost.org to the boost library incubator - www.blincubator.com ?
Library authors can find it because they are dedicated, but casual users
can't.
Ideally I'd like to see:
user needs a library - checks boost.org and doesn't find it.
Then he might one click to the incubator library page to see of there is
something in the pipeline he might use.
This would be a huge help to library authors for guinea pigs to help
test/develop their libraries.

Robert,
This seems like a great idea to me.
Do you know how you want that to appear? We’d want more than just a link, right? I mean we’d need to explain what it is, for both users and latent authors.
Can you just make a pull request as documented here?:

I looked at the web site updating system on github and impressed with it's utility.
BUT it doesn't seem to have a place for the changes I'd like to make.
The incubator has about 50 libraries in it now. I'd like a way for boost aficionados to get to the incubator after they've looked at the list of boost libaries. For example at the bottom of the "libs" page a paragraph like
Don't find what you're looking for here? Maybe someone is working on it. Checkout the boost library incubtator! www.blincubator.com. It seems that Rene would be the right person to send this to, but I don't know his email address.
