Hi Stephen,

Is this proposal complete if it does not cover GNU Info documentation, 
which is mandated as the canonical source of documentation for GNU 
utilities? (Some GNU utilities provide little in the way of useful 
manual pages other than to refer reader to the Info docs).

I.e. is there a "Manual pages" section because covering manual pages is 
normal practice for Solaris, or because there is an expectation GNU 
delivers useful documentation through man pages? (if latter - see point 
above).

Aside: if this goes through, the 'pinfo' Info documentation browser 
should be delivered too - one actually stands a decent chance of being 
able to navigate Info docs with it ;) (unlike with the standard GNU 
'info' Info browser). It isn't a GNU tool though (so for SFW?).

regards,
