Hi
There is a few notes scattered around in trac and readme files in the
source about rewriting or adding to the man pages. I am not sure how
relevant these comments still are?

I would like to make some changes in general to the documentation and
if you have any thing document related that you want changed or feel
that is inadequate at present it would be great to hear from you.

Changes I want to make:
* Write a layout and style convention guide for yum and related tools
man pages( subject to list review of course )
* Ensure that style guide is compatible in terms of rendering on all
major platforms where yum is used.
* Ensure that all man pages conform to the newly written layout and
style guides.
* Remove any ambiguities, eg. there is further clarifications that I
need to make to yum-versionlock plugin.

Any thoughts on keeping documentation in a different format and
"generating" specific formated documentation of which man is only one
type. Other types could be info pages. Personally I am not a big fan
of info pages, man works well and the migration from man to info seem
to have got stuck...

Lastly will there be any objections in me using trac to manage the
document changes?

Regards
