In fact, I don't even maintain it, to be honest. It just happens that I'm the one with the keys to it. The problem is that it's generated from scripts, and I don't know how tha= t project is organized. I could try to get it working, but it would take some work, and I don't feel motivated to do it. And also, I don't even have the sources, which makes things more complex.= I wish that POSIX allowed us to have a copy of the original source code of the POSIX manual in the git repository. With that, I'd find it more interesting to maintain the project again. I'd also like to know what's the original source code of POSIX's manual, because it may very well be roff(7). If that happens to be true, I'd like to have access to that source, instead of the HTML. Would you mind forwarding my rage towards the Open group, which IMO is no= t so open?
