Re: Do have programs have poor documentation? (was ... Re: Why? -- "A Modest Proposal")
There is noting magic about man pages--what I'm trying to say is that, someone
could start writing something similar to man pages, with all the detail or
introductory / explanatory material you (they) might want. Maybe call them
bman (for beginner man) pages?
Then a little effort by a programmer / developer to let the man page
infrastructure work also for the bman pages.
My suggestion is you spend less time discussing it, and get started on writing
a few bman pages...
