On reflection, I think I'd like to go a bit further with my suggestion. I'd like to see an "extended docs" option for the FreeBSD installation. Just as users can elect to have X11 and/or sources, they should be able to request the entire available set of docs, in a variety of formats. Given that disk storage is not a real issue, I think that many FreeBSD users would be happy to store as full, "pretty", and convenient a doc set as is available. I certainly would... Ideally, such an option would provide a complete docs set for the release, in several formats (e.g., source code, HTML, ps, pdf), (eventually) with indexes. This would not necessarily rely on the ScrollKeeper work, but it should be done in a way that seems reasonable to the SK folks. The funny thing is that this is mostly a matter of formatting and packaging; many of the docs are currently sitting in the source tree, just needing to be "built" into the right formats and locations.
