I wasn't suggesting that we remove groff. I think that idea might meet with a little resistance... I just occurred to me that if we can remove the build time dependencies on groff, then we can also remove them on C++, and that might make cross-building, and David's life, easier. (Not to mention reducing build times for -CURRENT). I thought I would throw my 2c into the pond while everyone was waving their arms around over your commits. ;-) > Are you expressing interest in doing the work? Well, I was thinking of learning docbook, and it also occured to me that coverting an existing document would be a lot less work than actually writing a new document... At the moment though I'm using most of my free time for work on pkg_install. I see Tom has shown an interest. If this becomes an organised effort I might be persuaded into doing a document or two...
