It is always better for the group responsible for something to maintain it. Thus, someone from the DDP should be maintaining the pages under /doc (in the ftp archive, on the web site and under /usr/doc on machines). This would ensure a consistent naming policy and structure to the documents (which should make it easier for people to find what they are looking for).
Adam has done some wonderful things to improve the documentation and allow its translation but does not have the time to manage the actual documents. I believe he agrees with me that someone from the doc group should manage this. Of course, the webmasters will help make it easy to maintain the pages on the web site. Jay Treacy
