[from the peanut gallery] This sounds interesting to me, it's something that I'd appreciate. However, there are technical challenges to solve here: * How do we get all the man pages? Every package can obviously (and should) supply it's own manpage. I know of no systematic way to install *every* one of the 18000+ packages in Fedora in the hope that they drop something in /usr/share/man * There are some upstream projects (all the GNU ones come to mind - coreutils, tar, a ton of base system utilities) that don't provide complete documentation in the manpage, instead referring you to the abomination that is the info page for the project. What should we do in that case? Yet other upstream projects could provide documentation some other way. I'd be willing to help with this, but I explicitly *do not* volunteer to manually update man pages every release, nor do I think anyone else would or should :) -- docs mailing list docs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/docs
