Man pages are the one area where branching might be a good idea, as they
are much more closely tied to the underlying system.  Not books/ or
articles/ though.

Yes, my mistake.

However, per the recent discussions on committers, can anyone who is 
committing *please* take the time to run "make lint" on stuff before they
commit it.  I don't particularly want to have to use CVS to enforce this
rule, but I will if necessary.

Also, if you (i.e., everyone reading this,  not just you Andrey) are
committing to a language-specific part of the doc/ tree, please take the 
time to ensure that the language you are using is clear.

For example, if English is not your native language, and you are committing
to en*/*, please get your changes reviewed by someone who is a native 
English speaker -- either post them to this list, or, if necessary, send
them directly to me.
