Boost Moderators
================
The Boost moderators are [Dave Abrahams](/users/people/dave_abrahams.html), Carl
Daniel, [Beman
Dawes](/users/people/beman_dawes.html), [Jeff
Garland](/users/people/jeff_garland.html), [Doug
Gregor](/users/people/doug_gregor.html), and [John
Maddock](/users/people/john_maddock.html). You can reach the moderators at [boost-owner@lists.boost.org](mailto:boost-owner@lists.boost.org).
**Note:** The boost moderators do not moderate any
mailing lists other than the main Boost developers' list. For
example, the boost-users list moderators are at [boost-users-owner@lists.boost.org](mailto:boost-users-owner@lists.boost.org).
The moderators of [every other
Boost list](/community/groups.html) can be reached through its home page.
Moderator Functions
-------------------
* Monitor the mailing list to ensure dialog remains within
the acceptable boundaries set by the [discussion policy](/community/policy.html). When
discussion strays, use private email to gently remind,
strongly rebuke, or outright ban, as the situation
demands.
* Approve the initial postings of new (and thus still
moderated) members, and move members to the "Group Policy"
posting status.
* Administer the internal operations of the Boost web site,
the main Boost mailing list, the CVS repository, and other
Boost administrative machinery.
* Act as an executive committee overseeing important
administrative and policy decisions. Boost is a zero-budget
organization with no income and no expenses, so that
eliminates the need for most management. Technical decisions
are worked out on the mailing list. The moderators handle the
few remaining decisions that need a definite answer.
* Beyond the purely administrative duties, work to keep the
Boost community vibrant and alive. That may be as simple as
saying "thank you" to an individual member, or as complex as
starting some major new initiative. Do whatever it
takes!
