Man Page Project Can Now Use Official POSIX Docs

Martin_Sturm writes "The IEEE consortium announces in a recent press release that it granted permission to the Linux Man Page Project to incorporate material from the official documentation on the POSIX standard. Obviously this is very good news for the Man Page project which now has access to a huge amount of good documentation. Until recently the project could not use this documentation due to copyright restricions."

Has anyone here tried to write man pages?

I see a lot of people bitching about how info sucks. Well, you know what? Maybe it does. But have you actually tried to write a man page?

The syntax for roff just sucks. Info, on the other hand, is a fairly reasonable way to write documentation.
