a good thing indeed! Maybe a tool that would make a extensive menu entry

There's already a lot of documentation anyhow, just look in:

/usr/share/doc/<package>
couldn't a script be written to create a docs directory by searching
/usr/share/doc for *.html and creating the proper links?

I am not such a script writer and I know how to search for
/usr/share/doc but a newbie won't and a windows user trying out demudi
would have a much easier job of it.

I am not talking about adding information but just making existing
information available.

I guess if no one else will do it I can do it for fluxbox for myself and
then post the information.

I wouldn't know how to do it for kde.

the toots are they available as a tar.gz??

and the Right Way (tm) to add additional information (e.g. the docs on
the web site)  would be to send them  to the Debian maintainer of  the
relevant package.  Is  something that anybody  can do  and would be  a
valuable contribution.

Cheers,

There is a program called dwww which combines man, info and html docs on debian systems.
