Just to be sure I understand this correctly. . . Do you mean moving things like src/bin/cat.1 to src/share/man/man1/cat.1, or, more likely, src/share/en_US.ISO_8859-1/man/man1/cat.1 ? Or are you just talking about creating new directories under doc/<lang> ? If it's the former, I very strongly doubt you'll get a change of that magnitude past everyone else. I can see the benefits from a translators point of view, but I don't think everyone else will think it is worth the upheavel. I could be wrong. If you mean the latter, we already do something like that with the Japanese manual pages. N -- Internet connection, $19.95 a month. Computer, $799.95. Modem, $149.95. Telephone line, $24.95 a month.
