With all the discussion recently on the need for groff documents
teaching fundamentals and techniques - and with all the terrific stuff
that is frequently posted to this list (most recently, Ted's solution
for pie-graphs), it seems to me that a wiki for groff would be very
useful. We could:
- put all the man pages and info docs up on line in HTML form for
browsing
- post guides for all the macro packages
- archive all the tricks, techniques and solutions to unusual problems
that have been posted here
and, of course, since it is a wiki, allow anyone in the community to
post interesting code or techniques that they use, for permanent
reference and reuse. I'm sure there are many people out there how are
doing remarkable things with groff - it would be great if they could be
shared more widely.
I don't know much about setting up or hosting a wiki, but would
certainly want to contribute, as I think many others on the list might
as well. I have a unwieldy directory of code-snippets I've culled from
the mailing list from the last couple of years - it would be good at
least to put them in some sort of order!
Robert.
