Would not a searchable index based on keywords not be a good idea too?
|
|
Just speaking as a regular user, I would love to have something
|
|
similar to 'apropos'. Something quick and easy to pop up a list of
|
|
relevant docs.
|
|
|
|
I don't think technically this would be very challenging at all. In
|
|
fact, with just some fairly straightforward scripting I think
|
|
something meagerly passable could be done, and would be quite useful.
|
|
|
|
The real work would be getting the keywords in there to start with.
|
|
And then LinuxDoc vs DocBook is a fly in the ointment too.
|
|
|
|
And yes, if it seems workable, I would volunteer to the extent of what
|
|
I know. <g>
