I've been moved to join this list because some of the man pages are driving me crazy; they're out of date. Fortunately I speak fluent 'C', so I often end up diving into the source code in order to find out what's really going on. But I'm currently in the mood to do something more positive about it. But how? I'm not talking about fixing typos here; I'm referring to large chunks of information that are simply missing. For example, 'top' does so much more than the current documentation suggests. If someone would be good enough to tell me how, I'm volunteering to update the man pages as I go. For the avoidance of doubt, I don't want to know how to create a man page, I want to know how to submit updated man pages for eventual inclusion in the next release. Thanks, Frank.
