This is a great offer, but I wonder whether it makes sense to use
the time you are willing to invest in a better way.
. I won't give up on groff.texinfo. This consequently means that we
need a groff2texinfo converter (or groff2info to get the more
important info files) in case the source files are in groff
format. Personally, I *really* like the indexing features of
`info' which are quite powerful. I'm not aware of a different
indexing system which is freely available (but I must admit that I
haven't done an extensive search).
Writing such a script/program might be easy, but it probably
doubles the amount of time needed for a proper conversion.
. groff.texinfo contains quite dry material. It will never become a
first-read document. Wouldn't it be more useful to create an
introductory document from scratch, probably taking the
introductory stuff from groff.texinfo (which would be consequently
removed)?
