[illumos-Developer] An inventory of OpenSolaris documentation

[Antonio Vieiro]

Hi all,

I am a little bit worried of Oracle closing down the whole 
opensolaris.org domain, now that they rule the Community, and we losing 
access to all good stuff in there.

So I've been doing some backups of available OpenSolaris documentation 
spread on the site.

Here's a sort inventory of the stuff I've found, I'd appreciate any 
additional pointers to this (documents you may consider worth keeping).

- MAN PAGES:

from different sections.

I was wondering if it would be a good idea to put some of this 
documentation in a repository of ours and start hacking on it.

I was thinking of the man pages, some style guides and coding 
conventions, etc.

Cheers,
Antonio
