This is the first time I take a look to the beta site and... it is green! :)
Lets merge our branches!
Rene, Can you share with me your boostbook branch?

I do not like the important.png either.
I rather like the caution one, but if it is ugly to others we can change it.

Same for me...

Again I agree...

If Rene shares with me his boostbook branch I can make a prove of
concept and upload so we can discuss about it.

In the banner there is a link to the boost main page in the boost
logo. I really like that.
Having the herb sutter quote in the main page is really nice, but for
the docs it may be better to use that space for other things.

What is the best way to use it?
In my opinion with a google kind search bar in the right side of the banner.

Best regards
Matias
