Re: Custom undocumented(7)s are just as bad.
Here is a proposal, which list subscribers may or may not like, so let me
hear some feedback if you agree or disagree.
On one of our web servers could be a list of binaries in the traditional
PATH without manpages. People could sign up for working on a manpage for a
binary. (Perhaps `executable' is the correct phrase? :)
Then, when a manpage has been completed, it gets checked off the list, and
the manpage is sent to the package maintainer. The release of potato isn't
far off, and it *would* be nice to get rid of some of these manpages.
Hopefully manpage updates don't count as "new code"?
I am not a debian developer, so I cannot host the page on a debian server,
but (if you guys don't expect anything terribly fancy :) I could put
together something on my own webpage to this end.
How does this sound? Sort of like a low-key bug-smashing-party.
Comments please? :) [heh, aside from my rambling nature.. I know about
that already. :]
