Something that focuses entirely on C++0x/Boost and doesn't try to bring you up to speed on 20+ years of language evolution. Something aimed at programmers who already grok higher-level, dynamic languages. My biggest concern is that it wouldn't sell, but I think framed in the right way it might have some traction. I'd welcome others' thoughts on such a project.
