It's just that i'd be more inclined to potentially help with Linux-oriented man pages (and the man-pages project in particular) if there was such a table, to allow me to potentially do small/quick corrections, additions, etc. - i run two OpenBSD servers, but my daily driver is Gentoo. i already have a lot of volunteer FOSS stuff on my plate, and i have to regularly make an active effort to not take on more / overcommit, so anything that can smooth the path for me to make quick changes as i notice them is appreciated. > It would be interesting if there would exist such a thing. Yes, off the top of my head, it seems like a number of people might find it useful .... Alexis.
