Yes, after a library is accepted it is usual to give the developers write access to the Boost CVS and they can start committing stuff.

For a new library, it may be useful to have some other Booster look at the directory and file names to make sure they in the boost hierarchy. It is a pain-in-the-wherever to commit a new library and then have to rename a bunch of files an directories right away.

If the code being checked in is unstable then it might be a good idea to check it in on a development branch, and only merge into the main trunk when the code is stable. Otherwise you might have to respond to queries about issues you already know about.

It helps release quality if code is ready and in the main trunk well before a release, too.
