Hi Skip,

last February, I put several (approx. 150) GNOME-related man pages
in the following CVS location: 

/cvs/gnome/gnome-docu/gdp/contrib/manpages/ 


These man pages are published under the GFDL, so anyone can use the
material under the terms of the license. However, please note the
following: 

- The man pages are written in SGML. We would like to provide them in
   XML, but have not yet had time to do so. 

- The man pages have some Sun-specific information. We would like to
   make these man pages generic, but have not yet had time to do so. 


The man pages are in five sub-directories -- sman1, sman3, sman4, sman5,
and sman6 -- representing different categories of man page. 


Hope this helps :)
Breda.
