well, I am wondering what packages I can use to edit man pages. also, I may
have to change how a man page would be laid out because my screen reader (both
in linux and OS X) seem to have trouble handling the change in content when I
navigate through a man page in a terminal session.

There was a web page converter that would take man pages and convert them to
web content. it required installing a specific package, starting a local web
server and then typing in a URL bar in a web client the command: "man: <man
page here>". I was never entirely able to get that to work on either OS X or
linux. I may have to look for the same package in ports (once I remember its
name).

anyway, there are those of us out here willing to do the work, but would
appreciate some preliminary documentation from DEVS as to what goes where.
