Hi Doru I recently wrote and had accepted some manual pages on the usage of EC_KEY (only in the git master at the moment). See: http://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Manual:EC_KEY_new(3) With regards to other manual pages it is now possible to make updates and fixes directly on the wiki (as long as you are comfortable with POD syntax). Periodically I will be submitting as a patch to the project containing any updates made on the wiki. Alternatively you can use the "Talk" page associated with each man page to raise any specific concerns.
