Hi,

I sometime need to contribute to boost but it is clearly not a regular activity.
And each time it takes me an unreasonable amount of time just to find the relevant git clone command.

I would like to know if something is inherently wrong with:

  1. go to www.boost.org
  2. unfold the "Development" menu on the right
  3. hope to find the information regarding the development cycle

right now, these sections mostly contains pages with link the the wiki, which is expected to be at svn.boost.org which cannot be reached.

If the information is actually at https://github.com/boostorg/wiki/wiki/Getting-Started%3A-Overview (thanks you stackoverflow) why isn't that page referenced from https://www.boost.org/development/index.html or https://github.com/boostorg/boost ?
