Yes. Something like this needs to happen. It is possible that this is what the doc directory should become - home for the new, unified, fully hypertexted document strucuture.

The main points are: no more documentation ghettos, full web exposure - and info, necessarily, taken out and shot. -- Eric S. Raymond
