I have some suggestions also ;-) But they are all in the general 
category of the existing docs needing an overhaul. I'm not sure if there 
is some specific style of documents Ericka wants to tackle but there is 
a desperate need to work on the content for the redesigned Boost 
website. That would include some minor thinking about web design, the 
structural aspects not the graphic and programming aspects, in that it 
involves taking the existing docs and rewriting them into the new 
website (and of course creating new docs as needed). Ericka, if you are 
interested in that please contact me directly.

Also this same request has come up in the past. And there's a wiki page 
about it 
<http://www.crystalclearsoftware.com/cgi-bin/boost_wiki/wiki.pl?Documentation_Helpers>.
 
Not sure if the page has been effective in getting doc work to those 
interested though. Ericka you might consider adding yourself to that 
page and posting to the main Boost list to remind library authors about 
that page and your willingness to help out.
