Although info pages are considered important by GNU recommendations, I do not think they just want projects to have info pages. They mean for there to be additional useful information not located in the manpages.

I figure someone will get mad at me if I remove the above. But I went ahead and got rid of the rest of it. Some of it looks like it maybe belongs on the webpage along with other presentations.

[Freeipmi-devel] docs/ directory
Would anyone object if we got rid of a lot of this? 1) freeipmi.texi, version-doc.texi, authors.texi, gpl.texi, fdl.texi Most of this doc is just cut and pasted from the manpages and other .txt files, it's already grown out of date, and nobody bothers to keep up with it. 2) freeipmi-hackers-intro.odp seems to be a presentation from 3 years ago? 3) ipmi-over-ts2000.texi why is this here? What does this have to do w/ FreeIPMI? 4) ipmi-network-layout.fig, ipmi-network-layout.xcf for the presentation from 3 years ago? 5) BUGS leftover from 0.1.0?? The only thing we seem to semi-keep up with is the FAQ, b/c we actually modify that and stick it on the webpage from time to time. If I don't hear from anyone I'll assume I can start cleaning up.
