Markus Metz proposed on [ GRASS-dev ml] to have a "man page improvement day", similar to a code sprint, with the whole community dedicating perhaps a day to finding problems in man pages and fixing them. Benjamin Ducke suggested also to rephrase things that are hard to understand or elaborate on aspects that aren't explained verbosely enough.

Ideas

  • Use Sphinx to generate HTML pages on server (http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/151) in order to have search engine and nice layout. This requires a conversion to rEST (see ticket).
  • Add/cleanup examples
  • Add more diagrams where appropriate
  • Add idea here
