Yes, definitely a good idea. I have actually proposed this
a few years ago but don't let this make you think I am biassed,
oh no... Seriously, I think this would be very, very useful.
One minor detail: TLDP only provides man pages from a limited
number of chapter, and not those that come with installed software.
For completeness I would therefore propose that we supply all
the TLDP man pages as wel as those from a reasonably large Linux
distribution such as Debian and note what is from TLDP and what
is from, here, Debian.
In addition to showing man pages I would also think an
inteface to apropos or man -k would be very useful.
