Hello Michael,

Thanks for info. Reading http://blog.man7.org/ I see you're maintainer
of man-pages project and at https://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/ page
there's a link ("Online man pages") to man7.org. Is there any
"official" relation between these two projects (man-pages and
man7.org)?

Am I right to think that providing up to date man pages online for all
"popular" projects seems to be very valuable service to the GNU/Linux
community? If so does man7.org receive support from major
institutions, projects and communities in the GNU/Linux world?  Is
there any chance man7 and linux.die.net/man/ would cooperate so that
it would be easier to find up to date online man pages? Also curious
to know where does the name of "man7" come from?


Regards,
Piotr
