Introduction to the Contributor Community
The Boost Contributors Community is a dedicated group of developers and enthusiasts committed to advancing the Boost libraries. There are many different ways of Getting Involved with this community.
Communications
The Boost Developers Mailing List is focused on the development and maintenance of the libraries. It is a platform for proposing new libraries, discussing design and implementation details, and coordinating efforts among contributors. Participation in these mailing lists is open to all. In addition to mailing lists, the Boost community also leverages Slack for real-time communication. The Slack Workspace hosts various channels dedicated to specific libraries, general discussions, and coordination among contributors.
When discussing Boost-related topics on social media, contributors are encouraged to follow our Tweeting guidelines. These guidelines help ensure that the community maintains a positive and informative presence on social media.
New library developers usually have a lot of questions on their mind, before asking for help or information refer to the Contributors Frequently Asked Questions for answers to many common questions and dilemmas.
Documentation Style
A consistent documentation style, that emphasizes readability and accessibility, is encouraged. This includes all the library Documentation Guidelines and contributions to this website (refer to Site-docs Style Guide).
