man-pages website and mailing list

man-pages now has a website. The website includes information about reporting bugs and otherwise contributing to man-pages, and also contains the online pages from the latest release.

There is also a mailing list for discussions related to man-pages. The posting address is linux-man@vger.kernel.org. (You do not need to be subscribed to the list to post to it.) To subscribe to the list, send a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org, with the body:

subscribe linux-man
An archive of the messages to this list is available on gmane.
