'webpage.ms' should no longer be something that duplicates the 'README' file as Dave pointed out, but an example demonstrating what can be done with 'ms'. It should be moved to a new directory 'contrib/ms/examples'. > 3. Bloody-mindedly update it for the 1.22.4 release. I don't think that this change is needed for 1.22.4, but this would depends on how fast you can bring this update. I'm trying to catch up months of inactivities and I have dozens of unread mails from the groff mailing list, so you still have a bit of time. Regards, Bertrand Garrigues
