<title>License on the LDP documents</title>
<para>
Colin Watson, who maintains the Debian packages for LDP documents <ulink
on</ulink> man pages. He said that they cater to the expert who already
knows what s/he is dealing with and provided a few examples. Antony E.
Greene <ulinkurl="http://lists.tldp.org/index.cgi?1:mss:4408:200305:foebgmckkcflneginjhc">said</ulink> that there are two different needs addressed
by tutorial or step-by-step instructions like the HOWTOs and a terse,
but comprehensive man on info page. Howard Shane and Machtelt Garrels
were of the opinion that the LDP should offer its services to improve
the quality of man pages but that would be a difficult task with the
resources at the disposal of LDP.

While on the thread, Greg Ferguson <ulinkurl="http://lists.tldp.org/index.cgi?1:mss:4409:200305:loceblldbelajghaloeg">asked</ulink> if people would be interested in a collection of man pages (filtered to HTML via man2html; browseable, etc.) on the LDP site.
