Who knows. Maybe we should re-introduce them... or make up our own set.
I'd be willing to play editor and collect submissions, as well as produce
a few pages myself. I can also provide some space on an FTP server to
store a tarball of the current collection. I can even set up a mailing
list for the process.
Writing Linux device drivers is part of my job description (embedded
programming is the other part) so I have an active interest in the subject.
I know I have fellow programmers in my company who would love to have a
few man pages, and wouldn't you all like to share the efforts of others?
