How would people feel about converting libdrm man pages to rst, and using rst2man in the build? We did that for igt man pages [1]. Looking at the diff, I think it's plain to see how that could lower the bar for contributing. And perhaps it would be easier to refactor and move documentation around too.
I think that'd be very nice.
I forget, I probably used pandoc or something to do the bulk of the igt conversion, and added some manual polish on top. I'm not volunteering for the libdrm man page conversion though. ;)
Hm, maybe dig out the old tools you used and point Simon at them? -Daniel
