I was thinking more of having a Javascript implementation of OpenBSD so
that you could type the 'man' command to get the page you are after.
It will only increase the size of the page by about 400MB, and hard
disk and CPU space is cheap.
And everyone has infinite bandwidth internet.

Doesn't Canonical own a patent on this?
Am I the only one that didn't take the proposal seriously?

Craig's bank hands out anonymous unix shell accounts so that people
can read various public documents rather than using a web browser; I
am guessing that is where this proposal comes from.

So Craig, you think someone should take this risk?
Now now, we can be more hipster than that.. a docker image that runs
the man command for you after downloading
all the openbsd man pages as a dependency - you can just deploy it
automatically with vagrant and run it in AWS.. etc.
After all, isn't there no simple command that can't be made better

If you have a web site that links openbsd man pages, it's easy to change
just replace the http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi with
http://man.openbsd.org - it takes all the same arguments.
man.openbsd.org runs Ingo's latest and gives him a
