Hi Dev (sorry if this is a dupe, sent to dev w/ wrong email)

I’ve been reading up on what it'll take to keep the documentation  
up to date as it's something I can do to contribute, but I’m a bit  
confused about which format to use. The existing documentation is
in pod format, but should they be in mdoc?

I found one thread on netbsd mentioning openssl's pod format:  
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-userlevel/2009/04/21/msg002053.html

and this discussion on openbsd ports while looking @ textproc/pod2mdoc:  
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.openbsd.ports/66762

indicates that there is a clear need for converting old pods to mdoc.  

caveat section for pod2mdoc(1) admits that:  
By way of being a presentational language, POD is not well-represented
by mdoc(7). Semantic content must be inferred and may be wrong.

Just so that I get started down the right path, should the pod  
files be converted to mdoc and continue from then on in mdoc? Or leave
as is and continue with pod?

Thanks!  
-Phong
